Without Trying to Sound British

about...well it doesn't really matter
how many years ago, but i made a concious decision
to spell grey with an "e" whenever possible.

it seems softer somehow, closer to what a
cloud line really is on the color spectrum,
snow in the dark, dusk reflected in water,
the jumbled weeks between arkansas fall and winter,
the grains between black and white in every pretechnicolor movie.

gray, it cuts and slashes, too metallic,
there's no mystery in the letter "a"
no love...
