Which Color Today? - Weebly.com
Palette of Catastrophe
by Denize Springer
Are we yellow today? Or purple?
May I get a haircut? Or just something to go? If the sky is orange, will my house catch fire? If I no longer smell smoke, have I caught Covid? Is it safe to swim under a sepia sky? Must I mask to howl at a muddied moon? Is this milky prism morning? Or is it still night? If the sky is red, are we still the Blue Planet? Is white somehow better than brown? Do Blue Lives matter if Black Lives don’t? Is it okay if today I stay as gray as all cats are at night? |
