BY KEVIN YOUNG
Wake to find everything black
what was white, all the vice
versa-white maids on TV,
black sitcoms that star
white dwarfs cute
as pearl buttons.
Black Presidents, Black Houses.
White horse candidates.
All bleach burns
clothes black.
Drive roads white as you are,
white songs on the radio
stolen by black bands
like secret pancake recipes,
white back-up singers,
ball-players & boxers all
white as tar.
Feathers on chickens
dark as everything,
boiling in the pot
that called the kettle honky.
Even whites of the eye
turn dark, pupils
clear & changing as a cat's.
Is this what we've wanted
& waited for?
to see snow covering everything
black as Christmas,
dark pages written
white upon?
All our eclipses bright,
dark stars shooting across pale
sky, glowing like ash in fire,
shower every skin.
Only money keeps
green, still grows
& burns like grass
under dark daylight.
