I See Only Black and White
I See Only Black and White
I see only black and white.
No spectrum of light
Illuminates a technicolor world.
Aquamarine, fuchsia, sapphire, saffron:
All are pigments without representation
In my crayola world box of two colors.
All colors absorb light as dark black
As all colors reflect in pure white
To the perception of my receiving eyes.
The blackness of authority and power,
The whiteness of innocence and purity
Present no warm or cool shades of the spectrum.
Without hue or chroma distinction
Saturating artificial or natural light,
I navigate with thoughts of simple direct contrasts.
All people, all thought, all relations
Are concepts of black and white,
No matter their complexity.
Choices, preferences, and friendships,
I clearly see two distinctions
Of difference in their form.
Right or wrong, good or bad,
Friend or foe, ugly or beautiful
Become lucid, permanent black and white fixtures.
With no colors to stir emotions
And no gray areas to cloud interpretation,
I rest assured in my total absorption and absolute reflection.
No alluring hues of potential disguise
Illuminate any regret or compromise
In my perfect interpretation.
I see only black and white
While your color-filled eyes
Blind you with ubiquitous variety.
