Basically,
these three things;
(by) Blood, (by) Air, and (by) Sea
and their causation with us
we are able feel inertia
in these,from these
most elementary, learn of
in these,from these
most elementary, learn of
likeness, of course-ness, like us,
matching a certain momentum,
catching Time in between any of these
molecular miracles, mimicking
all that we are (not) and more
that we may bear witness
as Being
as Blue
And though, it may seem true,
temporarily
but truly, beneath all three,
as deep as one could show,
I know and have long said
I would paint them red instead.
Call me color-blind
and paint me white
whatever you do
don't say,
I shouldn't be blue.
