Looking up

It was cold in the freshly cut grass on the lawn outside the house.

Inside

the marble of the kitchen island matched the doormats.

Maybe I was the only one that noticed.

No matter.

I saw so many faces

none looking up.

A friend said he saw a UFO.

Twice.

Who am I to judge?

For only fools would try to identify with their own set of irises

what others have seen.

Because my blue is not your blue.

Still

the grass was cold.

And I know that I was not the only one that noticed.
