The Conjurer

COLORS


She tells me about a dinner that she had with a
friend
and it sounds so animated, and she is so full
of life
and color

Tells me about some of his many
-no doubt many-
whimsical observations of things that occurred
that they both shared
and I wonder if she ever shows the colors that
we shared
together

And I feel
jealous
and envious
of this friend
and her color

She, repeating lines
Me, crossing them
with crayons.
