Sunset, Monday, 20 July 2009
Gray as the moon’s surface on a black-and-white TV.
Gray as silver reflections from a spacesuit.
Gray as a monumental statement missing just one little one-letter word.
Gray as the dark shadow of the white or golden or orange beam of a waxing or waning moon on any night of any year of any era.
Gray made of blues, violets, ochres, reds, yellows, browns, like the secretive and powerful gray government of a great democracy.
Gray as green trees shrouded in rain.
Gray as the black body of a camera.
Gray as the gray plastic or shiny aluminum computer casing.
Gray as letters on the screen.
Gray and bright and white as light.
