Of culture and perspective

There is a silly band in the shape of a princess on my desk

It’s pink

Of course and

Every way I turn it

It is still pink and

It still looks like a princess

Even upside down

But

If I put it on its side

Head on the left

Dress bottom on the right and

Stare at it

With one eye closed and

My head tilted to the right

Then it looks like a hippopotamus

Wearing a princess dress
