shades of blue

your discussion
of the color
blue, more
specifically
indigo and cobalt
results in you
holding up
that sparkling bottle
of water, it's color
is the exact shade
you are talking
about and you both
agree that it is
a nice color.
and you know that
the conversation is
really about sex
at this point,
everything
you talk about
has been shaded in
some degree or
another about sex,
holding each other
up to the light,
and smiling and
saying, yes.
