As a general rule, when everything turns yellow, I tend to get the fuck out. The same cannot be said for red, or even blue and green. But yellow - there's no way I ever hang around for yellow. Yellow is not mellow.
So there I was, walking along, minding mine and other people's business, and this yellow just jumps fucking out right in front of me. I got the fuck out of there.
When I stopped running, I looked back to see if I was being chased. Unfortunately, I was not. I'd really hoped that nice shade of purple I passed sprinting down the alley would think it was a game and take off after me. But no luck - she was just a teasing little minx.
Dropped into the brown shop. Sat down, chatted to black and my old man blue whilst we had some brown. They'd seen nothing, didn't know nobody, and had no ideas about anything. Usually, I pull out a white and hit it with some red, then blow out some grey, but they guys weren't having any of that. I called them both yellow, and with that, I kept on going.
I hopped in my deep-blue, rolling on my white and blacks, and headed over the river to the sandy shoreline. I love that sandy shoreline. It's the best damn sandy shoreline around. Except, when it gets too sandy, there can be yellow, which makes me get the fuck out.
Today the wet blue was more wet green, and I got my feet cold wet pink wading around, looking up at the grey that covered the usual blue. Wet is something I get. It can be cool, warm, cold and hot, but it's always wet. Frozen wet is the best. I like frozen wet dropped in my brown sometimes, but it's got to be hot on the outside for me to get the wet on the inside.
This ain't no allegory either.
I left the sandy shoreline, which is the best sandy shoreline around, but it was getting more sandy, and less shoreline, and we all know that this can mean yellow. Jumped back in the deep-blue on the black and whites and cruised downtown. Fluorescent is the name of the game in this city. I dig fluorescent. With the one exception.
Stopped at the take-away, and sat down to not take away, but eat in. I got a plate of white, topped with red, green, red, green and some dark brown. It went in me well. Looking up and around, I saw purple shade who failed to chase me earlier. I nodded my head, and purple sat. Purple is so red she burnt the seat. I lay some lines down on purple, and she went from light white to flushed out pink.
I took purple home - she got all around and I got in. This one is an allegory.
Kicked her out.
Went back out, as since I'd gone in, I needed to get back out.
Then wet began falling from the above blue.
Washed all the damn hues together, so we all sat around, keeping an eye out for yellow, but letting in all the dark browns, blacks and greys, as long as they left their wet blacks at the door.
The fucking yellow rocked up, out of nowhere. Popped up around the side of a grey.
I got the fuck out.

There is a distinct possibility that Berty found a turd floating in his cereal this morning.

I hated this.
So yeah, I've heard that whole opinion that a horrible warning is as much art as a shining example. That art isn't little doodles and oil paintings, but rather the metiorite that wiped out the dinosaurs. Perhaps I even accept that as a means of expression and thus, yes, that it is art.
This isn't though. It's just word salad. Am I missing something? Is there some dimension to this I'm just not seeing?
Is the point of this meant to be some comment that all communication is fundamentally meaningless? If it is then that's pretty nihilistic.
