the box of crayons

the first box of crayons
is fascinating
as a child.

reading what each color is
on the round
sides.

and there is no direction,
is there?

there never is when you have
that many choices
in hand.

with no parent nearby to say
even a simple thing

like the sky is
blue
the grass is green.

mistakes are made
into adulthood, when

we color
without a plan.
