Should I wear Blue or Blue today?
What about the periwinkle Blue of a new tee? Or, a 30-wash baby Blue.
And of course, the coveted
Old Lady Blue Hair, Blue as it’s nearly white.
Ah, Blue.
I’m Blue. My roommate’s Blue.
How could we not; living in Blue?
Even if you work here – you must be Blue.
Some are dark as navy
been here too long, or suffer the agonizing Blue of
trauma.
Some are light Blue; they fake it till they make it. Some are icy Blue with buzz-off written across their foreheads.
Some cover up their Blue, they try to be pink. They’re not fooling anyone.
There are those who don’t know they’re Blue. Shhhh, let’s not wake them up.
Even the walls are Blue. They’re white but they’re Blue.
They don’t want to be here either.
So, the choice remains
should I wear
Ba’ lue; the in-your-face kinda Blue. or, maybe
blue so no one notices me
or, Bluuuuuue
hoping someone will notice and share their Blue.
Together, we can lighten our Blue or wear it without shame, fear, or contempt. That’s the Blue I’m looking for
a triumphant, owning, courageous Blue. I’m proud of my Blue. How about you?
