Like A Monster

They’re like a monster—
memories, expectations—
coloring the now

not psychedelic
but strange colors, like dead plants,
wood from an old house,

feathers in dry dirt.
A monster with bad crayons!
I have oil pastels,

a good selection
of richly pigmented sticks.
Fuck that monster’s grays.
