/'kʌð·ərz/
(for Kim)
She says kuh-thers /'kʌð·ərz/
not colors /ˈkʌl·ərz/.
Not because she doesn’t know,
but because it is too much for just an "L" /l/;
“colors…”
"kuh-thers"
“kuthers…”
“See?”
And, who is to tell her that she’s wrong?
Not me.
I mean, sure I could,
“It’s colors…C–O-L-O-R-S”
but I kind of like kuthers
I’ve already seen colors,
my whole life; colors,
but now kuthers.
“You're right. It’s much better.”
