Staying in the Lines

Staying in the Lines


Red lights start to blink

in my rear view mirror and

I wonder

what if I could put blue


everywhere red now stands,

would it make a difference?


Color sneaks

into every meeting, presses

its significance. What if all the world

were a fresh coloring book--

white pages/ black lines

and nothing more?


I could grab a crayon, dress

that cop in a red clown suit--

far better too

if I could flip back a few pages


and, without overrunning the edges,

make the corpse bleed blue.
