Rachel's Obsessions with Food Coloring

[[George]] Order. Design. Composition. Tone. Form. Symmetry. Balance. More red ...And a little more red... Blue blue blue blue - Blue blue blue blue. Even even... Good... Bum bum bum bum bum bum Bum bum bum... More red... More blue... More dye... More light! Color and light. There's only color and light. Yellow and white. Just blue and yellow and white. Look at the air, miss- See what I mean? No, look over there, miss- That's done with green... Conjoined with orange... ...Aren't you proper today, miss? Your parasol so properly cocked, your bustle so perfectly upright. And you sir. Your hat so black. So black to you, perhaps. So red to me ...Red red red red - Red red orange Red red orange Orange pick up blue Pick up red- Pick up orange- From the blue-green blue-green Blue-green circle On the violet diagonal Di-ag-ag-ag-ag-ag-o-nal-nal Yellow comma yellow comma Numnum num numnumnum Numnum num...Blue blue blue - Color and light There's only color and light Purple and white... And red and purple and white... It's getting orange... ...I could look at it forever... -Sunday in the Park with George "Color and Light" (adapted)

Rachel of my heart, it took me a read through or two to realize the SIPWG reference in your comment to me, but then it hit me again later, this morning, as I was walking to school. I thought through almost this entire song, with food coloring on the brain, just as you have it written out here.

I am glad--GLAD--to be birds of a feather with you. Good goo, I love you.
