Monochromatic





I am writing from the margins
Looking toward the center
There the words crowd one another
Letters chosen or rejected
I am watching nouns adjust to verbs 
And prepositions embrace difference
Some words joined to express something 
Undefinable although I understand 
Meaning intention attitude
A turn of phrase or pages
I am turning to look back
Reconsideration regret
The letters black and blunt against paper
While the photographs tell
The story in sharp contrast
And shades of gray
