Problems are black.

They sound like children crying.

taste of castor oil

smell like spinach,

and they feel like paper cuts.

Success is bright blue.

sounds like cheering crowds.

tastes like peanut butter cookies

feels crispy like new money

Boredom is a ghost.

It smells like dust centuries old.

tastes like garlic salt

sounds like an echo in a hollow cavern,

feels like numb lips at the dentist.
