see i have this gem. it's so shiny u risk going blind looking at it.
and everyone gets too distracted by the twinkle not to realise that it's not in its eye.

it's one of those very colourful ones, it can go pink, blue, purple, green, yellow..
depending on the angle u look at it. and i thought i knew all the colours, but today i realize i don't.

i want to. because it's so beautiful, really. it'd be a shame.
u see, u see..it exists on this pedestal. quite tri-pod like. makes u think u know it from left and right.
but the bit that sits on the tri-pod, it hides so well. and the insides, concealed to be damned.
i stare and contemplate and try turning it around, re-adjusting its position to end up staring and contemplating at the same thing.

but once in a while, it gives me a little peek of the brown.
and it's not an ugly brown, it's one of those glittering kinds.. with hints of sunshine yellow and olive-green and purple.
the kind of colour u try to get onto ur dress, but never happens.
kinda like an oil-slick in all its beauty.
and to tell u the truth, when it gets slippery like that, my hands are already cupped right there in position to catch it when it falls.
but it tries so hard to balance itself that sometimes i wanna flick it over, just to catch it.

maybe then i'd see it inside out.
but for now, it rests where it rests.

and the phone's never too far away.
