original perspective
— A child's meditation on the moon as companion, comparing it to stars, dreams, a howling dog, and a soft pillow in a series of short, fragmented verses.
— A Purple courier delivering documents in the Forbidden Strip—where Purple and Green people live together—meets Unum, whose greyish-brown skin and perspective challenge everything she's been taught about segregation.
— A child observes the grain patterns in a piece of wood under lamplight, seeing landscapes of mountains, rivers, trees, and worms in its natural markings.
— A sunset transforms into dragon fire and shattering colors, with the speaker urging readers to catch the pieces before everything ends in stars.
— A young poet connects the mathematical concept of parallel lines to the endless nature of Christmas traditions and Santa's eternal journey.
— A sentient radio watches helplessly as carnivorous moonflowers take over the island city of Floracion, turning its inhabitants into mindless carriers of the infection.
— Northern lights transform a winter landscape, turning snow green and hair violet-blue in a private celestial performance witnessed by the speaker.
— A young poet questions why we divide the world into regions when their eyes see only one unified place where all people belong together.
— A child shares an apricot with a bird that grows arms, carries her away, then transforms into a beaked human named Carry in a world where apricots hang above.
— A philosophical meditation on the concept of nothing — its paradoxical presence in absence, its role in thought and space, and its unexpected value in our lives.
