That is so gray

That is so gray

A Poem by Jean-Pierre Garcia
"

Dude, quit being gray

"

The pavement

makes a concrete statement

and it's very grey


There is the sky and roads

I wonder where it is everyone goes

but it's grey


adrogyny, sexuality, duality

concepts and borders

rules and orders

very, very grey


like my eyes

the colors mute, blur,

and match my socks

cups and cotton shirts

worse it's worthy

nothing hard as the heart

like stone

your own sown

into the gilded guilt that quilts the harbor in a fog


think it over-grey

is the brain enclosure like the pencil graphite

the people sound like clouds

soft like south county crop

between black and wheat

and it doesn't stop


There's a little grey inside all of us

Monotone babies grown up

to look the same in different shades

glasses from the sun

Once you see those flecks between us

it'll be ok to appreciate other colors

and how we're drawn together.
