Now if you ask me! I would
say the color white is not bad
at all though bland It is the basic
color to make the gray scale
pale to steel

By now I am asking why tan?
your accomplishing shades of tan
sometimes a honey brown if you
use the right oils

Must be nice for you to spend the
whole summer able to see the
world’s darker side, a face
reflected in your own burnt umber
stage

Don’t change the color of your eyes!
stop putting those hazel contacts in
that glisten with shades of green

Your own eyes are beautiful, the gray
blue it says you. You’re like a flower
sensitive way down to the root
not sure whether to squander or sleep
stale tall blonde and all, should you
cover your face and weep?

Were two of the same your like the sky
cascading with milky gleams of star
kissed twinkles, I am the essence of Earth
tall brown ruffled like the stead fast oak
and I know the language of every leaf

Where both just women one know lesser
than the other, just two that watches to many
commercials, from a TV world we try to
build around what’s really real, you see
its just the black and white of it
