Dissapation
Two men stand.
One black, one white.
Between them lies silence,
tension within.
A year later the silence is loud, the contrast is full.
The tension bursts, and gray smears the world.
Two men stand.
One black, one white.
Between them lies a joke,
an intrinsic smile.
A year later the joke is told, the smiles shine ear to ear.
Two men stand, identically placed.
