Dig It

by Joan McNerney 

It's a digital
world and
there are
only 2 digits
off on
zero one
flying floating
over under. 

Listen to
those
computing
computers
yes no
up down. 

Damn it just 2 digits.
Why can't we
stop thinking
right wrong
black white? 

Discover shades 
nuances tones 
tints of grey 
      slate   
      dove      
      silver        
      smoke
taupe...pearl...creme
all the tones of
that inbetween. 

Enter nebulous haze
this big bad
world of
maybe.
