Yellow - © Ken Nordine - 1966
Sunday, December 16th, 2007Inderdaad, uit 1966 en toen al op audio gezet, zo goed werd het bevonden. Wat een dichter. En wat een stuk, wat een metafoor, en hoe toepasbaar nog steeds 42 jaar later.
N-joy. One of my favorites.
Yellow
In te beginning
long before that
when light was still deciding
who should be in
and who should be out
of her spectrum
yellow was in trouble
..even then
it seemed that green
-you know how green can be-
didn’t want yellow in
some silly primal envy I suppose
but for whatever cause
the effect was bad on yellow
and caused yellow to weep
yellow tears for several eternals
-before there where years-
until blue heard what was up
between green and yellow
and took green aside
for some serious talk
in which blue pointed out
that if yellow and blue
where to get together
-not that they would
but if they did
a gentle threat-
they could make their own green
ohhhhh, said green
with some understanding
naturally by a sudden
change of hue
green saw the light
and yellow got in
worked out fine
yellow got lemons
green got limes
