How to Paint with Colors
start with the ability to perceive
break it in small pieces

next, add them to the spread
of colors around you, mixing in respect

a pinch of this, a pinch of that,
after sieving off any debris
and leftover contamination
from open-air pollution or oversight
like refractions of fear or delusion
since odd alien bits impact
a color’s clarity and
the artist's reflections

also, make sure your canvas
is stretched with generosity

and always remember this
there are no ugly colors

Prompt: a recipe poem
