Grey

in a world where color rules,
how can it be denied?
Grey
and all the subtle shite that goes along with it.

Grey can be my favorite color
it's non-committal
it's neutral without being so . . .
it's lupine
it's tough to figure out.

Grey things and the people that love them
because they have few things to love , of any color.
Grey may be a cloudy sky
gunmetal; confederate uniforms
Grey is this but it's--
Grey may be--
something to hang your hat on.

Grey happened, without warning.
Grey descended from the sky
Grey felt sorrow but was brutally honest with itself
Grey means no easy answer
no matter what the controversy,
Grey takes you by surprise.

Grey likes long explanations
is a panacea
and a killjoy
assassin with a conscience.
the thoughts of a sinner and a saint are Grey.
and it's always
reliably
blah
