We must have gone through 30 lipstick
colors
In search of the one that wouldn't glow as hot pink
Sarah started to tell us
we were all going to go blind
because we were in a dark room
with just the black light

Maybe the light was starting to get to me...
After awhile, she was starting to resemble my mother
Sarah said we didn't look the same.
It brings out a hidden secret
we never knew we possessed.
Art
is harmony.
Harmony
is the analogy
of contrary and of similar
elements of tone,
of color
and of line,
conditioned by the dominate key,
and under the influence
of a particular light, in gay, calm,
or sad combinations.
Georges
Seurat (1859-1891)
French artist, painter Letter to Maurice Beaubourg, 28 Aug 1890.
