our paint chip named “octopus” is a
cute shade of dark lavender, it appears
to me. a purple that makes me both smile and slightly salivate.
over the years my taste changes, but more than any other color
purple has been my favorite color (sometimes it’s yellow, green, red or orange). i’m
up with excitement in a bit of a jump and manage (with too much regularity) to
slam against the shelf directly next to tHe bed in my tiny apartment. a magenta
brUise appears on My knee a few short minutes thereAfter. maybe it’s a
momeNt to appreciate havIng A Mere 2 legs rather than 8.
