"Shades of Grey"

In comparison to their

uncompromising black-and-white-ness,

I feel drawn to your shades of grey:

the subtlety of something in-between.

I want to lace my grey with silver, though.

Is that not okay?

If you are as open-minded as you claim,

why is it that this doesn’t

seem to be okay?

There are no specific doctrines here,

after all –

or so you say.

So you say.
