Color Mixing


i am not just yellow or white
i am a culmination of my virtues and my dreams and
those dreams are small
but they will grow in time
as i grow too.

yellow and white
are my identity
but they are not defining qualities i am not just a body
breathing
moving

i am–
we are
all of our paintings and writing and actions

tangible action
is what makes me

i am not yellow or white
i am a culmination of my virtues and my dreams

i am none of us and i am all of us

yellow and white are colors i use to paint
