GRAY THAT WAY
(10/28/19)
“something
neutral”
the real
estate agent
told me
I can
do
neutral
but as
I was getting
ready to leave
this house
I'd at last
use
my favorite
color
the woman
who first
lived here
with me
thought that
the main rooms
should be
“bright!
cheery!”
which became
a pale yellow
never
one
of my favorites
16 years
I lived
with those
buttery walls
no more
now
that I'm finished
I wonder
how I can
possibly
leave
with all
the cheer
of an overcast
day
when I
finally feel
at home
