a little bit of synesthia makes
life interesting
and hard
to explain,
but i like
knowing the colors of letters
and days of the week
(E is yellow, Monday is red)
and seeing
the shape of dogs’ barks
(brown, amorphous and shifting)
most of them float
as though filled
with helium -
a colorless, odorless, tasteless
gas which, by the way,
is silver
and smells smooth
and tastes
like ice.
