black and white

nothing is black and white.
bring the rainbow
out.
the big box of Crayola
crayons.
the shades of grey,
the blues and greens,
reds. out comes
the prism
of light through glass.
there is color
in every walk of life.
every strange corner,
each
love, each death,
each
new problem that arises,
each joyful surprise,
or
delight.
nothing is black and white.
there are six
or seven sides
to every story, none of
them exactly right.
