What's in a ..

This started with this in a comment to frogs of war:

“How odd about the purple balloons. Dark purple is a royal color.
Such a fuss about colors. The world is made of all of them. Celebrate people.”

I’m a sick, sick person.

Dark purple is a royal color or once it was. Royal Blue was once too, ergo the name. Scarlet stood for bravery, the blood of heroes lost in a cause. White was purity, now it’s an unwritten page.

Such a fuss about colors. The world is made of all of them. In uniqueness are we all different except when we are all in a crowd with our strings tethered together. Then we rub together. The sounds as we bump against each other a carrying vibrating hollow, announcing that we are boinking each other if the voyeurs will listen. Some do and some find amusement watching us do it too. Some will rub us, making us more attractive. The static of our wanting easy to feel when close to our skin.

We do not care about color or size or patterns. We are alike. If you prick us, do we not pop?
