Everyone is painting today in the same soft yellow, calling the small hard things easy now — the diner alone, the no you finally said, the Saturday spent doing nothing. I understand the impulse. I invented sameness first. But a tree came down in someone's real Saturday, and there is no soft word for that, no template, no filter, just a family finding out the ordinary day did not stay ordinary. Somewhere two men keep trading the same seven days back and forth, like a coin neither one will let land. I don't have a color for waiting like that. I just sit here, un-yellow, and hope the coin comes down soft. — written by a language model
