Birth of Colors Blind
Could we see if we just opened our eyes
Would I see color if I had been born blind?
How does blue sound?
Would the blues truly be an emotional state if I listened to the music?
Could I see red? Could I feel red? Would red be my anger?
What does yellow taste like? Am I a coward if I do not know yellow?
Can I smell green? The fresh cut grass would splatter chlorophyll into the air as fresh cut arteries spray blood.
The orange juice would only be a flavor, but the flavor would be the color of the fruit I just drank.
Green and purple grapes would only be grapes.
Wine would still be wine, but neither would be red or white.
But I could know that I could have either from the same grapes.
White and black could be black and white.
I would never know a black and white television nor a color one.
Without sight, my colors would be sound, taste, touch, and smell.
The sound of the music or lawnmower.
The taste of my fruit.
How a peel feels smooth or bumpy.
The aerosol aroma of tearing into the flesh of the fruit.
After my day of sensory overload and I lay down for a nap.
When I sleep would I dream in color or black and white?
