Blue

Blue


Oh dear lord;
he's going through his blue phase again.
Painting up a storm 
on the page with words and themes
we're hearing week after week.


Get on with it
and pull the trigger next to your head,
because we're sick,
and we're tired of the complaining
and we're just calling it quits on you.


Sure it's beautiful
but one can only take so much of it.
And it's had it's time
but its dried out in the sun.
No water will bring the sucker back.


So try some red-
or purple, or magenta, or green.
Just anything but blue
and we'll come back and see.
Refreshed with the fresh.
