Gray Man's Enigma


The gray man stands
In gray skies & absent stars
In all sorts of gray garment
Stripes to plain to printed

Consternation struck
Disparagement not I
In blue jeans spirit
Though not foppish
For the irony of it
I cannot see

In gray closefitting garment
Mixed masculine perspiration
With blue jeans spirit

How I long for
How I come to remember
That gray man sleeping beside me
That gray man waking beside me
That erratic gray man
Who is not beside me anymore.
