unlike
raze something blue
i couldn't place
hid beneath the snow.

i made my foot a shovel,
clearing away the clutter
to better see what anyone
else would have stepped on.

it broke apart
until it was so small
it wasn't anything at all

not unlike the brain
that struggled to understand
how slush could be the colour
of summer's cold sugar
without wanting to be tasted.
