Listen to poem:

In the Gray Light of Day

In the Gray Light of Day
David J Walker

Draw my world in the
Various shades of charcoal 
The numerous grades of Gray 
Express the night
Confounded by exposure in 
the light of day

and anyway
the light changes and the
traffic is on its way to another 
intersection of life before
anyone notices that
I was here
	Or there
