Two Colors
Two colors;
Black.
White.
I'm almost beginning to think no other colors exist.
Because see I live in a world where no one mentions red, green, yellow, or blue,
You're black or white.
I have to think before I take a drink from a water fountain,
Shame.
Now things that you use are known by your name,
And that's black,
or white.
We're separate.
When my daughter asks me: "You wash the white clothes first and wash the rest later right?"
I almost want to hit her and yell: "Don't you let those words come out your mouth again!"
Then I realize that mixing the two would cause disaster,
And that's just the reality of it.
Of life.
Because see I live in a world where no one mentions red, green, yellow, or blue,
We're black
They're white.
