I could use a dose of gray A little pepper of gloom The heavy rain of a thousand skies Or the four corners of a windowless room I could use a dab of dark An intriquite weaving of color Steal a shade of black And coerce it into another I could use the oceans darkest hours Or the deepest regrets of the night I would love to meet blues sinister side Or the pigment of Lizzy’s flower As if gray in every shade were the only primary color I could use some heavy rain “Heavy Rain” -JP
