Hell If I Know

It is the untouched books on the shelf
That bother me the most.
Their pages yearn to betray a world
Fraught with color.

There are those that would not see it that way.
They know the truth of the matter is so bright to so many
That perhaps a black and white photograph
Will suffice for a veritable Sistine Chapel.
Though their images churn in my mind,
Devoid sometimes of the enlightenment of

red
green
blue

I am more fearful of the fact that

gray
grayer
grayest...

Now seems closer to the right answer
Than all the libraries of every corner
Of every single

fucking

college town.
