Et de ratage en ratage, on s'habitue à ne jamais dépasser le stade du brouillon.
La vie n'est que l'interminable répétition d'une représentation qui n'aura jamais lieu.

Blue Lenses

I got there late, but I want to go back regardless.
I miss the day when my hair was blue
and my biggest worry was having the color fade -
how unlike the wind that pulled at my chiffon skirt
I'd have to dye to stay the same.

Mid-day lazy Shadows on the floor, a theater troop -
glances never in disguise;
abundance in laughter and reconnaissance.

Truth is told -
the best times are shared with kindred souls.
How I smiled when I knew I'd see your smiling faces
on the days when
My pappa's pilot sky blue button-up
used to be my fashion Law -
how jeans made it more perfect,
how it was so hard to just say "No" to black.

---

I love you all.
