blank.

"just look at that blank canvas, dear", she whispered.
"it will always tell you the truth."

she talked of literal combinations,
expressing her own scholastic doctrine of what was real, and what was not.

"it's just... blank", i proclaimed.
"there's nothing special about it..."

she shook her head, and took my hand.
she placed it on the white canvas, and told me to close my eyes.

i ran each finger across the jaded edges.
the bumpy material beneath my skin.

"now", she said.
"paint with your mind."
