DRESS CODE: You SHOULD be wearing dapper (Gents) or elegant (Ladies) clothes that consist of the following colors: 


Sunday by the blue 
purple
yellow red water 

on the green purple

yellow red grass,

let us pass

through our perfect park, 

pausing on a Sunday 

by the cool blue
triangular water

on the soft green
elliptical grass

as we pass

through arrangements of shadows

towards the verticals of trees

Forever… 

By the blue
purple 
yellow red water

on the green orange
violet mass

of the grass 

in our perfect park

made of flecks of light and dark,

and parasols:

Bumbum bum bumbumbum 
Bumbum bum… 

People strolling through the trees

on a small suburban park

on an island in the river 

on an ordinary Sunday… 

Sunday…

Sunday…

(
PS I’m counting “shadows” as black… so black is OK, too.)
