repainting the town
we’re going to paint the town
it’s only a matter of deciding
which color
and therein lies the dilemma
while red is the obvious choice
it’s become socially unacceptable
along those lines you may as well
eliminate yellow or any shade
of black & white
politics aside I find myself redefining
the painter’s palette
offering the world brand new colors
but asking you (& only you)
which one we’ll be going with
september two thousand twenty
