7. THE PICTURE

Phone lit up Purple staring back Orange hairs shooting through it Like sparks through black Didn’t smoke it yet Still knew something changed Some things introduce themselves Before somebody gives ’em a name Saw the picture Knew the room got different Looked like fire wearing diamonds Purple with intention Before the jar Before the smoke Before anybody clapped Royalty walked through a photograph And looked right back That’s intuition Not proof yet But enough to make you stop Like seeing lightning through the clouds Before you hear the thunder drop Mushroom spore looking through another set of eyes Said humans need confirmation Nature already decided Saw the picture Knew the room got different Looked like fire wearing diamonds Purple with intention Before the jar Before the smoke Before anybody clapped Royalty walked through a photograph And looked right back Sometimes destiny sends the trailer Before the movie.
