Chameleon

Wandering aimlessly...

Green against the leaves...
Brown against bark...
Yellow against withering leaves...
Smooth transitions.

Brown against wood..
White against walls..
Grey against the gravel path..
Occasional hitches.

A mix of blue and yellow against the curtains,
A mix of red and yellow against the biscuit tin,
A mix of blue and grey against the newspapers,
Confusion.

Blue against the Gardenia packaging
White against the monitor screen
Brown against rainbow-coloured toys.
A scream.

Thrown out of the house,
Sharp pain as body collides with tiled flooring.
What colour was I again?
