it's not over yet

she changes colors
in midstream.
we're not happy with the baby blue.
we're thinking
something different now.
something deeper,
something that reflects
more of who we are.
the room is done.
the furniture
pushed back,
the switch plates
attached.
the brushes are clean,
the roller,
the tray, drop cloths
are folded,
the tools gathered,
the truck idles patiently
as i put out my hand for pay.
it's not over. 
not yet.
anyway.
