the truth is
there are only a certain number of colors to be seen,
no more and no less,
and while it is nice to say
your skin has variants of brown
I've never even seen before,
or that your eyelashes are somehow
blacker than black, and they are, they are -
they are not,
and you are not some sort of
magical shade of soil
found solely in the deepest points of earth
no, you are just another real color
and you are just another real person
and maybe I ought to stop looking at you
through squinting eyes,
seeing colors that do not exist.
