Out Cast

suppose unbelonging had a color

a wrongful grayish hue

with half the value night falls under:

.

dark dim horizoned star in wonder

of an elusive whitelight moon,

unbelonging might be a color

.

shaded bad like clouds that thunder

in crayon boxes, skirting blues,

with half the value night falls under

.

missable beside “cornflower,”

called “notenough” or “leadballoon,”

‘cause if unbelonging was a color

.

it’d be named worse than all the others

and clash each time you drew

with half the value night falls under.

.

but whenever you felt strange, asunder

you’d plainly see I’m painted too

with unbelonging as a color,

half the value night falls under.
