citrus colors

between

            1919 and 1938

I was told that

            31%

of aquatic life outlived

communists and that

the dead communists never

ever went to church.

                        we call them the dead generation

I was told that

            they had a fetish-           

                        - a foot fetish

and only wore pink ankle socks

            is that sexy?

they instigated fights with bartenders

and usually lost because they were

old and frail.

                        I think they were virgins

they loved teal raincoats

            but for some reason they chose

            red as their main color

I remember one of the dead gens

telling me red for the color of

love and power and blood and

that we're all red inside -

I told him that was crazy
