The View You Know

Sun
Out front
Only afternoon out
Back
Both struggle
Not with each other
But
With gray

Black buildings
Black
Branches

Inside
Things are grayed as well
I could be reminded of ethical
Situations

But
It’s not school
I am
Nonplussed
Could use some learning to apply

To like
The gray
Maybe draw gray things
Try not
To think in gray
Until a situation might arise

Appreciate gray shadows
In the day
A gift

Close my eyes
Appreciate the fiery black inside
While I
Nap
Which seems
A gray thing to do

Maybe
I could try
To smell
Gray
To taste
As if from the air
To touch one of gray’s shadows

To listen
To
The words from gray
‘Cause
I could be missing out
On
A gray gospel
