A Semblance of Normalcy

Gray

This is an obsession
With the color gray
Within the writing
Of the past.

It was monotonous
And acidic,
But it is also much more.

It is the combination
Of shades and tints,
A mixture often neglected
For its plainness,
Yet it is required
For the rainy clouds
That floated above the bus
And for the water sodden shoes
That she wore that night.

It is so much more.
