now i remember why we don't get together

the sky
is so blue today, i say to him
in casual
passing
innocuous chit chat.
he looks
at me and says,
no,
not really.
see those clouds, they're
white
and some are
grey.
the atmosphere
is not really
blue,
but an illusion of many
variable
things
in space and in our
protective
halo
of air.
the sun
and lunar position must
be taken
into consideration
as well.
so you're wrong about that.
okay. well it's
always a pleasure to see you,
i tell him,
staring off into
the distance
as i pull
out my chair. take care.
