Sarah has blonde hair
It makes her really proud
She thinks everyone should care
So she talks about it lots- and loud

Emma has brown hair
But that doesn't make her flattered
Why expect people to stop and stare
When she had no choice in the matter?

One day Sarah went and told Emma
"You should treat me special."
"Why," she asked, "what's the dilemma?"
"Well, you have more potential."

Emma didn't see how, and that had made her blue.
Sarah said "More people have brown hair than blonde,"
Emma said "Well yes, i guess that's true."
Emma knew that didn't make sense, but what could she do?
Everyone around said Sarah was right, so Emma just said that, too.
silence and stillness
through thin branches, past small leaves
white crumbs in the pitch
