PREOCCUPIED WITH PRIMARIES

Here in Greece, primary colours 

saturate stucco splattered structures

built on rocky cliffs,

brick by brick.

Houses, churches, hotels and cafes

 coated in sunflower yellows, barn reds, 



emerald greens and sea blues, 

provide a primary pigment of perspective.

While studying psychology in university, 

I remember a theory which proposed that

 as children, we are attracted to 
certain facial schemata that, 

later on in life, dictate our choices in partners.

I wonder, could this hold true for colours, as well?

Do views of hues 
that made an impression on us as children

 reign in our place of residence today?

According to my empirical knowledge,

and collection of data,

I think it's safe to conclude

they do!

Thanks for visiting!
