i rise electric
a sunbeam introspect
fabricating bright vistas
to please the derelict 
inside

no, my walls aren't true blue
but snake green shame
can fill a room too

so I keep it this way
like a box for things hidden
silenced
unwanted
forbidden
suppressed lest what beguiles my eyes
be less than what's the very best

that's how I am
just like all the rest
i fear to conjure any test
to what gives life its zest

but I digress!
i rise electric
and shock the world to color
and the gray of truth subsides to me
the iridescent other
