quick one from my lunch break

I believe today I saw the new color. Out the office window a shining silver awning burned so white I saw the new hue behind my iris. Have you heard there is a new color?

I touch the orchids on the shelf to see if they are real, and the businessman in the next room slams the door. Yes, the orchids are real. And they shimmer. They are painted in amazing complexity yellow then pink reaching out from the center, speckled inside so delicately it is hard to believe they have not been painted. Yes, Georgia they do look like vaginas. How funny, how true. Above them on the wall is a Warhol. Andy are you jealous? The long stem cranes down bent by the weight of its flowers. The leaves fan out to each side. A swan. A woman. An office decoration.
