It's a grey day out there
with grey feelings
Was there ever anything real?
What's real is this tepid weather
come from somewhere up north,
possibly Iceland
Feelings iced over,
so to speak
I myself am grey enough
not to be noticed
– Len "Grey" Blumfeld
An uninvited guest from up north for Totally Optional Prompts. All à propos and razor-edge-of-time, including the fact that a child I like a lot did not appear to see me at all this morning.
great! loved the way you ended it: "I myself am grey enough
