Hour 3, Prompt 11, Year 2021

It’s a warm summer day in Lilliput
The perfect day to use yellows
Gulliver splashes some yellow on white
Picks up his straw and blows
Behold! A beautiful canvas
Just a shape of yellow
Simple, like the Lilliputians themselves

Right there lie his headphones and his magnifying glass
Never used since he washed ashore on this land
This land that is nowhere on the map of his world
Where the people themselves are as big as these gadgets
Gadgets of another place, another time

But behold! A bicycle out of nowhere
A laughing child tips over the bottle of green paint
One color becomes two – yellow and green
Not unlike the flowers on his desk
Flowers from the King himself

A coincidence? A charm? An anomaly?
Well at the very least, it isn’t a surprise
Just another oddity in the land of Lilliput

“Well, goodbye now!” the child says
He parks his bike and struts away
No hint of fear on his face
They’ve all grown used to him by now

Gulliver chuckles as the child walks on
What is a work table for him
Is a massive wooden path for the child
Despite their different sizes and stages
It is a canvas for both
A bright golden opportunity to explore the unknown
