a shade of blue

don't bother me

with your politics. 

with your uneducated

take

on the world.

your narrow views.

there's not enough

aspirin in the world

to heal the headache

you give

me after an hour or two

of babble.

please.

let's keep it to small talk,

if it's okay

with you.

the weather seems safe,

you go first.

tell me what you think

of the sky.

tell me what color it is,

what shade of blue?
