< gray >
the world outside is real
and can be described
in those terms
but
we live in here
inside
in the landscape
of where
our life is a story
where magic is real
and
available
and a single word
can make
you
or you can vanish
a key
pressed
in the late afternoon
can leave you
gone
painted out like white on white
or
like gray
(if you prefer it that way)
on gray

i always feel guilty (and a little ninja-esque) when i add a poem of yours to my reading list without commenting, but i never have the words necessary to make a worthwhile statement. so instead i'll just leave it at that and say that i enjoyed peeling the #949494's and #B5B5B5's of this apart.

re: Re:
Any poem I put on my reading list certainly doesn't require my pitifully cute comments.
Not that it stops me most times, but it's usually an inane paraphrase of
"i liked it".
Which, BTW, I find nothing wrong with.
Your comment, BTW, all #949494's and #B5B5B5's of it, made me smile.

You're piece reminds me a lot of EE Cummings. I enjoyed this one quite a bit.

re: Re:
Ah! Someone who capitalizes E. E. Cummings' name. In the KNOW!
I originally started using mostly lowercase as an attempt to imitate Cummings
as he was the first poet I hero-worshiped. Later, I should have grown out of it as it's
become quite dated, but, no. Nothing says "poetry" like not using uppercase and
I find it's handy to remind people what it is, put them in the proper frame. :) :) :)

Superb. Gritty and open, writing always seems so casual for you. Nicely done.

re: LA
I try REALLY hard; sweat bullets, blood, what-not to appear casual.
I'm glad you're willing to be fooled; or else, willing to say you are.
Either way: you made me pitifully happy when you said that.

re: Re:
Ah! Always happy YOUR magic is available to me.
The phrase "real and available" is the cousin of "live and direct".
