Look deep into
these crystal eyes
Have you seen enough colors
of the prisms inside
to know which one I am?

Like a five and dime kaleidoscope
changing all the time
I arrange the shapes and colors,
but it's not there that I hide.

A brooding diamond, azure blue
fades into a blood red umber.
It's the only place you'll ever see
the lightning follow thunder

I began as a player
in this crystal game
and learned to be the game itself
So you won't find me
where you're looking,
and it's probably just as well.

I kept wondering why that frisbee kept getting bigger and bigger....and then it hit me.

Yo Zaaclindsay

Five and dime kaleidoscopes can be tricky, they never tell the truth.
