Confusion
Confusion is every colour mixed together, messy and indefinite
And it sounds like the fearful cries of chaos.
Confusion smells overwhelming like an 8-course dinner
All on the table at once.
It looks like haphazard trash lining the busy streets on Garbage day,
Making you feel like SCREAMING.
