I'm the color of coffee
After you and some milk and sugar
My dad's the color of dark chocolate
Or perhaps a well cooked burger
My mother's the color of plywood
That's been sanded, buffed and cleaned
My words are the color of sunsets
That I've painted, written and dreamed
But if I looked closely
I'm sure it would have seemed
That nothing was so different
In these separate life machines
