Thomas Azure Borealis
was as blue as a boy could be:

blue shoes
blue socks
blue shorts
blue hoodie

even his hair was blue
new last Summer
girlfriend did it

he sent pics of himself to his sister
in up-province Ontario
in real Carnie Country

every Sunday she texts him
something new:

purple cotton candy
the chicken feet vendor
tourists from Denmark
security guard boyfriend

even the sunrise from the ferris wheel
that orange star
bursting out of the big lake
and becoming the day
