Blue

You sure your gloom is coloured “blue”?
Go see yourself speak out the word.
Do lips not pucker like a kiss
You blew into the one who sits
Across you at the pizza place?
And is the exhale of the word
Less gentle than the breath you blew
Between two fingers stretching out
Their wetting, hurting, flapping eye?
