Uncertainty

do you see what I see?
you are not color blind
but is this green or is it blue?
the label reads “tourmaline”
is that sky a shade of grey,
light blue, or even white?

does it even matter
if one of us is right?
clouds are there, the paint is real
our perspectives are somewhat confined
reality is quite independent
and certainly not all in the mind
