But you can't catch me, I'm the Gingerbread man

with my paint box at home, i can make every colour imaginable. Pink. As pale as a baby’s skin. Or as deep as rhubarb. Green like spring grass. Blue that shimmers like ice on water.

One time, i spent 3 days mixing paint until i found the right shade for sunlight on white fur. You see, i kept thinking it was yellow, but it was much more than that. Layers of all sorts of colour. One by one.

I haven’t figured out a rainbow yet. They come so quickly and leave so soon. I never have enough time to capture them. Just a bit of blue here and purple there. And then they fade away again. Back into the air”
