Look at us go…
Rolling in the rain
Like ain‘t another day
Ever gonna go by--
Baby, Can you feel it?
These days are so very
Orange. And it‘s that
Glow that fuels our
Toes with stimulants.
Witness this, honey,
We‘re either gonna
Always be running around
Each other in circles
Or we‘re gonna be
Escaping in circles.
Either way, baby,
Our feet ain‘t taking us
No where.
And I don‘t know about you,
But that‘s alright with me.

I wrote this poem while listening to a song by John Hiatt. I was seeing the color orange and the person I loved. I wanted everyone to see this silent film playing in my mind, so I tried to paint it orange and ripe.
