Blue by miscellaneous owl

From one point of view, these adornments are better than feathers. Individual birds of paradise have no option over the shape and color of their plumes. They have to display with what their genes have given them. Bowerbirds, however, can choose.

If you could look like anyone
Who would you choose?
I'd be Claudia Schiffer on the cover of Vogue in 1992

Yu-Tin breezes into the bathroom
In a Sun-Ripened Raspberry cloud
Silver nails and a tan from the summer
And she's bleached her hair to golden brown
Prying open her eye in the mirror
Circle lens balanced on her finger
She blinks it in and wipes her tears away

And then her eyes are blue
Her eyes are blue
Like the sky, blue
She smiles
They're so blue

Blue is his favorite color. Bottle tops nicked from a nearby campsite are his proudest possessions. He has an eye for detail, too, placing them precisely for maximum visual impact.

I just want to be an all-American, corn-fed, apple pie girl
Milk-pale skin, calling my parents by their first names, hair that holds a curl
Prying open my eyes in the mirror
Trying to make them just a little bit bigger
Trying out names that sound a little bit whiter
Wishing my eyes were blue

Like the sky is blue
I wish my eyes were blue
All the pretty things are blue
I wish my eyes were blue

Like the sea is blue (Linger on, your pale blue eyes)
I wish my eyes could be blue
All the pretty things are blue (Linger on, your pale blue eyes)
I wish my eyes were blue
