#14 Real versus Fake (Part II)
Of their
own accord my fingers wrapped around the chalk.
"Pay attention now: I want you to write down three colors you
associate most with art." My eyes
sank closed at the hush that went through the room. For a few moments I could pretend the
scratching behind me came from the feet of birds nesting in the rafters, and
not the nibs of fountain pens against composition papers. "And now write down three words that
describe the colors you find on your clothes." I could pretend the breeze playing across the
broken window panes was the source of the whispering I heard.
The chalk at
least was real.
