"I want to sleep the sleep of the apples,
I want to get far away from the busyness of the cemeteries.
I want to sleep the sleep of that child
who longed to cut his heart open far out at sea.

Federico García Lorca
Gacela of the Dark Death
Ah well back in the land of the Gray. The gray of Confederate ghosts in a parking lot garage. The gray of three cube walls that I sit in like a mouse sits in a cats mouth. The gray of the sunless sky that backdrops the bare branch mosaic outside a window I want to leap from. The gray of the slacks of a business suit that matches a tie I want to strangle someone with. The gray of the mood of a man who slit his wrists with a papercut off his paycheck.
Well at least I dream in color.
