the world is orange
and i mean orange
like a sepia photo in which your grandparents
stand stiff & silent,
unsmiling, their clothes starched
for the occasion,
the sky old fashioned orange fading into pink.

some people stay up to ring in the new year,
watch it burst like a glittery balloon
over the midnight horizon, count down the seconds
til it starts over again. they dress up,
and all his other songs, album covers mostly variations of a homesick grayish-green. Acoustic guitar thrumming through the speakers in steady 4/4 time.
