[hometext] => Inspired by a traffic light, really, while I pondered the unfathomable life of one who is colourblind. I tried to convey the difference in this poem, as I was also trying to understand what it would be like, without colour.
[bodytext] => You and I see the world differently, I can't explain to you why. While you're watching things come alive, I'm watching them wither and die. You see the earth in watercolour, I see it in shades of grey. I'm seeing the dawn fade into night, You're seeing dusk turn into day. My accursed vision is something you can't fathom, A thing of your animated lore. When you see me tell my stand-still tales, Pity we who imagine nothing more. And when you lay yourself to sleep, Floating through a pastel dream; Remember we who do not know, Dwell on how my vision to you would seem.
