the suit of grey

we are all cowards
to some degree.
never saying what we should
say, vaguely saying what
we mean.
we rarely take the leap
from the ordinary life.
we wear the same suit of grey,
take the same route home,
take our shoes and clothes off
in the same way.
we obey the rules.
we live our days as if
there's an unlimited 
supply of time.
doing what we're told
from birth, until the final
breath is taken,
when death takes hold.
