When they white wash
they use white emulsion paint
made by white people
in their own colour
just like white noise
which is white
but you can't see it
just as tombstones are white
and those therein are without hearts
heartless and walled in a white cage
below and above
they labour the white winter of discontent
but ghosts do not feel or have consciences
spooks are always white
as in white wash and white noise
