only black
can be seen with light eyes
large sliver, a crack
all truth, or lies
a painted rusty pane
all the colors blending
are we all sane?
or are we all just pending
crying dismal black
hearing only light
dreaming things our lives lack
seeing darkness wishing white
only color dreams
seeing in two dimension
not all is what it seems
living lies, screams our pension
can the heart see
what the eyes do not
the truth of colors, the key
nerves shot, faces wrought
black and white
truth and lies
no will to fight
only crying eyes
all i see is black. and. white.

Wonderful. I gather more senses and feelings than ideas disected from phrases. I would love to talk for an hour about intentions and implications. Personalities come in as many different kinds as keys in music. This appears from a concrete point of view
