Listening In

Why does everyone call you a “he”?
Do you really know my thoughts?
Are you white like in all the pictures?
What am I thinking right now?            
I really like your clouds.
Why did you make those white too?
Why are sunsets at the end of the day?
What’s your favorite color?                
Do you hate clowns like me?
Why are clowns’ faces white too?
Do you love everyone?
Sometimes I don’t love everyone.
