shades

what good ?
what evil ?
what absolutes ?

black and white
are for the books
and the movies
I read and I watch
and shake such
fancies away
life has for me
but shades of gray.

my man,
it just struck me, out of nowhere. when you are not jake, are you vinay N. shenoy? i know it's an absurd thing to ask, but said chap was my roommate. he scooted off to india and was doing some management / software kind of thing when last heard of. i think he (you?) used to write these haiku type short poems too.

i meant to add: chap's nickname was jack / jake too. hence the doubt.

Jake said...
