Notes About The Poem

Black and White are outcasts from the palette and don’t count as true, physical colors. White is what we see when all wavelengths of light are reflected. Black is what our eyes see when no light is reflected. At night, and when the lights are turned off, everything is black - colorless, with color negated.
