Clearly
A scientist went mad to make
grasshopper wings to harness light,
refracting rainbows through the glass.
A child showed her how to take
a new approach with lesser might:
imagine colors as they pass.
The lady grinned, then disagreed:
"It's only in your head. You see?"
"It's clearly there," the boy agreed,
"and it's all I'll ever need."
