Just How It Was

Characters on the wall and at the table

By Rowan Finley Published 2 years ago • 1 min read

It was difficult pretending,

rough, wild heart sending,

hopes for something very different.

It’s impossible to keep your bagels and eat them too.

He dreamed in color,

she was the color incarnate,

but she’d settled for dreaming in black and white.

Who possessed the better mentality?
