The sky is a beautiful grey
And it's raining steadily in a very
Autumnal fashion, much as you'd
Expect without any of the Summer messiness.

But there is still a warmth in the air
That I associate with a lingering
Summer that cannot so easily let
Go and give up for the rest of the year.

And I drove through it without giving
Even the slightest thought to any
Precipitation or shade on that wondrous
Display in the sky of every grey in the book.

Which book? Probably the color book. One exists, right?
There must be a centrally located color organization that
Puts out a book every year with the recognized colors listed
And any shade that popped up in the last period.

There must be.
How else would we know exactly what Red looks like
Or just how blue
Is the perfectly correct shade of Turquoise or Lapis Lazuli.

I don't know.

I'm not really concerned with the state of color
And its regularization under a recognizable authority.
Regularization? Is that what I am trying to say?
It matters not; it is all bureaucracy.
