NaPoWriMo okay. Maybe I'll ever be good at poems.

The Sky was this
...unbelievable...
pharmaceutical color

(You always hear about violet & indigo & think - well isn't purple fancy?  with its first and last names?)

Before the sun came up there is the sky like magic sugar
like chemistry-ice cream
...unbelievable...
and later when the allergy happens

(and when did this start?  that the histamines are hostile?)

Anyhow at the bus stop there's a guy from your building
who has that hate able face
and almost you say something to him about the sky off in the east almost overhead
but his face tells you that you hate him for no reason and you say nothing instead.

Eastern sand has finely-dusted Britain,
With a gulf stream of polluted grit.
Stinging eyes and blocking throats with
Heavy yellow droplets :-/
