BLUE MYKONOS

A day on Mykonos,
one of those beautiful
Greek vacation islands,

blue skies, blue water,

blue shutters, blue doors,

blue window frames,

blue railings, steps and stairs,

gift shops with blue and white

postcards and paintings - as well
as small blue and white Greek flags ....

Now, even though I turned

a hundred corners and

twisted up and down

thirty seven streets and alleys,
I didn't see one paint store - 
not one. Please notice
I didn’t say I felt blue without you. 
No! I kept wondering:

where do they get

all this rich blue, blue paint?
You never know 
what other people are
talking to themselves about?
