My daughter Hannah can show me a thing or two in PhotoShop. I’d ask her, “Who showed you how to do that?” She would reply, almost insolently, “No one – I just found it.”

She would have found it using the suck-it-and-see approach.

What, photoshop?

Those pencils are unnaturally vivid.

but fewer that even a child might use,
and for the same purpose:

a scrap of paper -
a bundle of crayons;

once shown how to use them
creativity needs no prompt.

You presume me: green–
light and soft on the spring grass beneath the warming sun,
when in fact I am red,
dripping dark with the dried blood of effort and exertion –
while you, blue,
drink in the ocean’s vast horizon stretched out before us.
Here in this space,
I compliment you and you, me,
even though the color-blind few of us
assume these shades of difference don’t really matter.
They do,
for you remain my favorite hue.
