Pale Yellow

0 Conversations

In the room with the pale yellow curtains, I wrote three alternative endings to a song with no known beginning.

<musicalnote>

Realising this to be futile, I then rejected all endings.

<musicalnote>


I opened the pale yellow curtains to let in the pale yellow sunlight.

Of course I only wrote this sentence so that I could reject it also.

Whilst wondering if sunlight had any colour at all, I thought about my friend John, who died a few years ago.

We'd listen to The ISB (The Incredible String Band) and ask deep cosmic questions into the night.

<eureka>

Ah! A bright light flashed in my brain.

Be Glad For The Song Has No Ending!! An ISB album!

<eureka>

Thanks for reminding me John!

Now I'm glad I rejected the pale yellow sunlight (although I'm keeping the pale yellow curtains).

It led me to think of you.

If you find out what colour the sunlight actually is, please let me know.
