Painting in the Kitchen-

Blue and yellow.

When I was younger, I learned they made green.

Add white and it was lighter green.

Add black and it was darker green.

I loved going in the kitchen of our apartment,

And painting green things with my dad.

Trees, grass, green cats, whatever.

Of course, we had green paint,

But it's so much more satisfying

To mix blue and yellow

On a plastic plate

On the kitchen floor.
