Magenta

Life is like a box of crayons.
Most people are the 8-color boxes,
but what you're really looking for are the 64-color boxes with the sharpeners on the back.
I fancy myself to be a 64-color box,
though i've got a few missing.
It's ok though
because I've got some more vibrant colors like periwinkle at my disposal.
I have a bit of problem though
in that I can only meet the 8-color boxes.
Does anyone else have that problem?
I mean, there are so many different colors of life,
of feeling
of articulation,
so when I meet someone who's an 8-color type, I'm like,
"hey girl, magenta!"
and she's like,
"oh you mean purple!"
and she goes off on her purple thing,
and I'm like,
"no - I want magenta!"
