While sitting in Philosophy class...

Talk, talk, talk, all the day long.

This dead guy said this, this dead guy said that, and none of it truly affects us anymore. Once upon a time it shook people up, and "happily ever after" has yet to show, but it never will as long as we keep repeating these same ideas. So we lucky students sit here at our desks and listen to the 3-hour drone of voices that are buried in the ground. "Hakuna Matata" will remain my problem-free philosophy, but it's hard to follow when philosophy itself is my biggest problem.

Talk, talk, talk, and the minutes try their hardest to tick by. Once upon a time, I tried my hardest to listen, not just hear but listen, and now my ears refuse even to do the hearing. Comprehension quit me long, long ago, and now my only chance of "happily ever after" is the big hand at the 2 and the little hand at the 4, and the class will be dismissed!

To be finished later

Tick of the clock, 

tock of the clock,

eight o' th' clock,

and off I walk -

to class I go,

to class I go

to learn some 

from the talk -

the talk,

the endless talk

of teachers droning on

Back to Blue

The hottest part of a flame is blue.

The red tip turns into an ombre of orange and yellow, with white at the bottom, hugging the match head. The red runs the rim as the coldest part of the heat, and the white as the hottest.

But truly, "white hot" doesn't cover it as well as it could. Hotter than white hot is blue hot. Past the white, in the center of the match head, there is blue.

Somehow, this holds true for the cold as well.

"Snow white". "Cold as snow". By the transitive property..."Cold as white"?

But truly, the whitest snow is not just white. It glistens and gleams with the clear tint of icy blue.

Blue is whiter than white.

Beyond white is blue.

Somehow, this is true for black, too.

The blackest hair is not just black.

It always has a sheen of blue.

The strands shine bright in the light, reflecting off the blue.

Hot, cold, black, white - it all comes back to blue.

And what is blue?

Peace.
