I wear neutral <br />The color of the sand <br />The color of the stone <br />The color of the stream <br />The color of the earth <br />But for these reasons, I do not wear it <br />In neutral, I feel natural <br />like a leopard in its own leather. <br /> <br />It comes in different shades, <br />this color neutral. <br />Some call it brown <br />Some, taupe or beige <br />Others call it earthy <br />I simply say neutral <br /> <br />Some say it complements me <br />Others find it boring <br />Why don't you wear bright colors? <br />They ask. <br />I simply say <br />Why throw red paint on a bustard bird? <br />The vultures would see through the peels <br />and the other bustards would take to their heels.<br /><br />Birgitta Heikka<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-wear-neutral/
