The Purple

For the first time in my
life, I saw colors, not like
normal people see colors; my recent

woman
sees colors all the time.
This morning, there was
purple splashed all over my room.
Once, in her sleep, she said
the word \'purple.\'
I asked her what it meant,
she said, \'Knowledge of the future.\'
I know she will try and screw this
sickness out of me; God Bless her.
What do I know about the future?
I know it looks bleak, and the
doves are crying.
