A bag
is not a watermelon.
A fake leg
is not a piece of trout.
A piece of trout
is not a clear plastic pint of
brown & green kiwi.
A red candle
is not an apple.
A picture is not
a picture.
But a word
A word is both
essential and grease.
This, coming from someone whom in 8th grade
was told she drew like a camera.
