Nothing but Blue Skies
A lesson from The Lathe of Heaven
Once we lose the blue in sky
We do not get it back
No matter how we rework the world
My guess is
We get it gray
Not a fashion gray or gray painted for
Attractive shutters
But gray the color of pollution
(have it plain)
How our factories and cities make it
So we could find it now
The sullen gray
Somewhere a quotidian gray
Increasing
