Every day my alarm goes off at 0600 hrs. Every day I blink my eyes in the darkness before the sun has had it's opportunity to shine into my room. My routine is the same every day. I ponder as I lay in bed about what the day ahead will hold in its hands. I take a shower and shave. I put my clothes on as the fan above me slowly twirls. Before I leave the confines of my bedroom, I take the black plastic keyfob with shiny silver accents and place them in my pocket. Keys to the house; dog tags from the US Army all looped on board. O-Negative blood type. My name. My social. They jingle in my pocket as I step outside to the drive way.
The yellow shimmers as the first glimpse of sunshine beams upon the yellow. All the colors in the spectrum reflect back in rebellion except one. The yellow. Black accents with tiny STI writing line the base of it. Black wheels dirty from brake dust still giving a broken smile of the glistening of beautiful flakes beneath. I gaze upon the figure. Smooth. The charlestite yellow reminds me vaguely of the Afghani morning skies I try not to recall. My fingers gently brush the silky smooth waxed surface. Rain is in the forecast. As I drive down the roads to work, I see the reflections of all around me. I begin to think to myself of the other colors in the Subaru spectrum. What have I done? Of all colors I had seen on that scorching day I chose a color which defied the others. Had I done something wrong? Had I committed to the wrong partner? My eyes glaze over as I move through traffic.
"No. No I haven't." As my stoic face quietly tweaks a smile for a fleeting moment in time.
