Obstacle is a Canary Yellow Globe

That globe
That goddamn globe

Canary yellow
like the world was sick

and the water polluted
with something foul

She dragged it everywhere,
such a strange object
for my little sister’s affection

Snuggling it 
like a teddy bear
as she traveled
from room to room

But her attention 
waned easily,
she was a child after all,

and the globe,
that goddamn globe,

seemed to always
find my toes
as I stumbled down 
the dark hallway
to my bedroom

It wasn’t until years later
that I came to realize
how fitting the color was
