Juxtaposition
by Amanda J CobbSunset
with treetops speeding by
and millions of people
traveling the ribbons of roadway,
oblivious to the varied destinations
aimed for all around them.
Above the scurry and the chaos
float masses of spun sugar
and whipped cream,
wisps of forgotten fairytales
scattered across the darkening vault
in shades and tints
from my favorite part of the crayon box,
bright corals mixing indiscriminately
with royal lavenders
and the palest of periwinkles.
It made me think of you.
You would have known
exactly how I felt. 05/31/2004 Author's Note: Revised 6-2-2004
