Thankful for Red

Red, the color of warm flames.

Red, the bag of Doritos.

Red, the can of Coke.

Red, the blood of angry men.

Red, my writing notebook.

Red, the soft color of her hair.

Red, the apple I ate for breakfast.

Red, the reminder that I'm human.

Red, the ketchup I dip my fries in.

Red, the cover of my favorite book.
