And she asks him with her eyes shining gold where the light hits them. Fool's gold maybe or the gold of a
cat's eye. She asks him and he tries to find the words for how a child copes when no one can or will explain.
He tries to find the words but all that will come are green and copper and gold. Green are his suits and copper
the stains he valiantly tries to wash out of their insides. Angry, infected red are the cuts under the green and
copper the rash that spreads from them. Copper the stains on the gold penknife in the second right pocket of
the green jounin vest.
Green and Copper and Gold and red. Red is the ground and the sky and his suit. Red is the past and right
now and the future. Red dries to copper and rust and the Green grows over it. The Green grows over
everything- eats everything like some monstrous beast and he thinks if he wears the colors maybe the Beast
will think he is a part of it and leave him be. And he has no fear 'til fall hoping against hope that the orange on
his legs and wrist will find the copper and gold in the forest in the trees.
And he can't explain it can't find the words to tell a story nearly twenty-one years old about a two year old
and a woman in a pretty green dress on a big blue bed. A pretty copper-tone woman in a pretty green dress
on a big blue bed with a long silver knife covered in red. Can't find the wording to explain the red and silver,
the read sheets and the golden hair being slowly dyed orange from the spreading red. The red like fingerpaint
and a child's handprint left to dry into copper and rust in a house he doesn't really remember anymore.
So instead he pats her head and says- "Because it is very youthful!"

Well, that's it although I have one more thing to say... How is it I can have better then a hundred hits on this thing and no reviews? I'm not a review whore looking for tons of meaningless reviews, but I have to wonder at least a little bit. I mean is the work good, is it bad? What did it mean to you? I don't know and yet people seem to be reading it... Oh, well that's all.
