We sat on a kitchen table quietly sipping cokes
outside the light had gone
a painting of a city i did not know
hung near me on the wall
i did not know
Dots of red and green and blue and white
swam in a sea of black
I could see myself in the painting
in the city I did not know
that hung near me on the wall
floating bits of color
I did not know
I did not know
I did not know
what was possible
what was possible
To see the full image
one had to first
step
back
and imagine
what was even possible
