“’Hatred of The Various Grays’”
Gray and Beige,
Beige and Gray,
Bare naked and new cubicles
Hallways of prisons and schools
These are not tints,
These are somber neutrals
Meant as a primer for post-mistakes
They are not calm and cool paint swatches
That is for the Monet’s Lilies and Aqua Breezes
They are not stimulating or motivating
Like Lantanas or Pumpkin Toast
If you’re going to go flat and gray,
or bland and beige
adding a smudge of hue will level it up
to a chromatic gray, that expresses
close to something rather than nothing.
