It’s All In How You Look At It

Sunset

melts and swirls in

swashes of blue and salmon and violet--

 

Trees

softly diffuse,

run and blend into one another--

 

Cars

stab their lights through

air streaked and blurred like rain--

 

People

float like cutouts

across a pastel flannel world--

 

You

staring at me,

wondering if I've lost my mind--

 

I

have simply lost

one of my contact lenses.
