• Blue is the Apple of My Eye

  

  Dear blue, cool to my eye,
  painting the sky:
  You make me want to fly
  in a Boeing 747 across the big blue
  ocean to Sverige with the yellow cross
  piercing through flying, waving blue.

  My first car was blue. At 16, I
  prophesied I’d have a blue car,
  and that it’d be, instead of a Plymouth Horizon,
  the type that Dad had bought Liana and Justin,
  a Dodge Omni.
  (O, yes, I had to be different.)
