microscopic,
swimming in the absinthe pool
on the famous silver spoon
looking at the world
through a blue telescope
for blue women
to give blue roses to,
with whom he might elope
living fully
but knowing
death comes only to soon,
for him every night
is the fabled blue moon
over intellectualized
and over aestheticized
for his blue collar road,
he only fully felt half
the feelings
he allowed to show
rolling around
in a metaphoric wheel chair
because he couldn't bear
to "leave the world unseen"
(with its fruit trees,
nightingales, libraries,
and the spaces between,)
the blue man knows
that "painting"
is all it all really means
they turned him
into a comic book
and he took a careful look,
(caught between perplexion and respect)
he couldn't find
the will to object
and so he signed it
with a blue question mark
