Black(all the time)

Brian Looney

I’m part of the generation that wears black,
a generation not limited to time or trend or history,
but the collective(intellectual) consciousness,
which forever seeks
to realize itself,
which sometimes
thinks it has.

I’m part of the generation that wears black(all the time),
but not always outwardly,
which(personally)
separates my voice
from interference,
though it may just
vary for others
of my generation.
I’m just saying that everybody’s different.

I’m part of the generation that wears black(and sometimes tie-dye),
who rolls their eyes or flashes fingers
or thumbs a nose or flicks a chin,
or cleanly calls it quits,
who doubts and doubts, and then turns
around and doubts itself for doubting,
for daring to doubt,
doubt for doubt’s sake,
to refine the mind
and kill some time,
buckshot at the ducks.

I’m part of the generation that wears black(plainly),
and it doesn’t have to be all black,
not goth black, not that obsession,
not that, but is included
(to some extent);
I mean black as a
comfort color, and one
that’s second nature, not
the kind that
draws a stare.
