The two pillars

Can’t be helped

Needed to go shopping,

The desperate times.

In the shop,

Passed by the kiddy section

Xylophones and soft balls.

And I saw a box of crayons.

Remembered Lisa from kindie

She drew circles and quartered,

Then filled compartments with color.

I’m color blind,

So when I tried to win her affection

I did it all in brown.

Lisa got upset by my stupidity.

Can’t blame her.

Years later,

While at play with another Lisa,

She seared into my skin,

what I think

Was the blue.

Boy, melted paraffin

gets me off better than candlewax.

Maybe I’ll buy a pack

And get in touch..
