Contradictory proposition
To seek imaginary gold
Look at it paint the sky
Through rose-colored –
"What a spectacle!"
Optically identical to colors
Found in a box of crayons –
Artificial fibers not natural
Or genuine – inflectional
Affixes made to solely express
A relationship between what

Its true value is determined
By naked-eye observation
"Wait, it could be just an old
movie with celluloid thrown
in for good measure?"
Somewhere, somehow, get
over it . . .

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.

This is a most beautiful portrait of the sky. Sometimes we miss the beauty of everyday things. Great poem.
