Certain Kinds of Light (after Research Says)

complex sunshine yellows on a wooden fence which no longer exists

deciduous autumn leaves defining dry desert arroyos

skies tinted gray-blue from distant forest fires

black and white photographs in the developer

 

pardon me for sharing four bad jokes

of the apocalypse

 

everything actually

depends on the brown of

a spun color wheel

 

this is not about light

this is residual R-complex hominid desire

for objects absorbing and reflecting light
