Something furry.
We're born hairless.
But look to the animals
Fur and tail and teeth and claw.
And colors.
Look at all the colors
800 shades of brown
100 shades of gray
50 shades of gold.
How did we end up with four?
Red, yellow, black, white.
I want to be
Not this pale flesh, but
something furry.

Fur
Something furry.
We're born hairless.
But look to the animals
Fur and tail and teeth and claw.
And colors.
Look at all the colors
800 shades of brown
100 shades of gray
50 shades of gold.
How did we end up with four?
Red, yellow, black, white.
I want to be
Not this pale flesh, but
something furry.
