Brown and White:

They paint a picture of creamy 70s house-life comfort, and makeup the bruises on hearts.

Orange and Green:

You stand in the green; roil, roll, fight, sweat, and faint in its infection. The orange sits in your toilet bowl, fumes of acid make you retch.

Blue and Yellow:

That's why envy is green, because you take the sadness of blue, and the joy of yellow and you get a manic, violent splatter.

Red and Pink:

Puppy dog love and bulging instinctive passion don't mix well. One is smiles and gentle kisses on closed eyelids, the other is sweat down tensed backs and barred teeth. A flower in a storm.
