Trying to describe
how I saw the world
how I embraced the colors
the shades of gray, the argument,
how I argued as an attorney
not in a continuum, a spectrum,
one wavelength at a time.
Not a monochrome, stagnant,
only in black and white, not really,
nothing so stark in dividing the light
there is a spectrum, I acknowledge,
a range of bright colors to choose from
but for me not blending, changing
arguing one sliver of light.
I saw definite lines,
ambiguity, argument
able to grasp ahold
to argue for a single line
as a spoke on a bicycle wheel
in slivers of discrete color
one wavelength at a time.
Not fuzzy lines morphing
one to another, shades of gray,
a method, a path, choosing,
one or the other, plaintiff or defendant,
able to argue, to advocate,
holding onto one thin sliver,
one shade of color at a time.
