The Color Thread...add your own color
Green
Marshlands Sticky between the toes Slimy under fingernails Drop your head under the smiley serpents Kiss the frogs Tap your hip Melancholy and molasses falling Katydids and banjos sing from the trees Smear mud on your cheek and talk to the swamp Gators are docile Mosquitoes listen better when the sun shines on the swamp The air is tasty Cattails toast well in the sun Being green is swell |
deep.
unadulterated. purple. throwing down the gauntlet between the calm sweet coolness of blue the lifebloodfire of red, turning one another inside out, through and over again. power. knowledge. wisdom. rarity. gives flight to birds of paradise, mingles with the destinies of royalty gives quiet notice of forthcoming zodiacal light. profane and regal. tropical and frostbiten. bravado and depth. purple. |
brown.

Black:
is it a color? Is it the absence of color? emits no wavelengths. It absorbs the entire rainbow, swallowing it whole, expunging it. represents a new beginning: a dark room before the lights are turned on, a dark sun before the beginnings of thermonuclear activity. licorice. is the color we wear at funerals. Thus we associate it with death. Other cultures associate white with death, because of the white of bones. tuxedos and limosines, patent leather shoes and Baldwin grand pianos. stealth bombers, or helicopters. car tires. ink. Black. |

Shades of Orange.
Tangerines or oranges, the rind artfully peeled with thumbnail, the rind pulp gathers in the fold between nail and skin, the bitter citrus smell wafts upwards. Tracters and bulldozers, men in hardhats, bright flourescent vests of Caltrans workers. Hard work, the smell of asphalt, the deadly rush of cars, the sun. Highlighters. Late nights spent proofreading in the office, or at school, Roget’s and Websters close at hand. Endless textbooks with lines of words; following the subtle thread of reasoning and teasing out the faults, allowing the mind to digest the mass of information and spit out a conclusion Wet floor signs, mop buckets, mop handles. Late nights spent sweeping and mopping; being on call for the spilled sodas. imacs. The dukes of hazard. zefrank.com. |
