if you’re lonely
don’t wear black or white
people are more likely to approach
if you’ve put on plum pants
or a well-fruited tangerine shirt
carry a green velvet handbag
or a purple baseball hat
sporting a yellow crescent moon
colors are magnets for curiosity
so if you really desire connection
don a pair of electric blue eyeglasses
to draw someone in
perhaps the conversation will turn
to the colors of each other’s eyes
and someone will laughingly add
how the window to the soul
is probably tinted
