Color Lines

Fractal-prism Bubbles by Tammy Wetzel


 COLOR LINES
 
If you can choose your gender 
Why can't I choose my race?
When asked about ethnicity
I''m everywhere in color space.
 
I'm just as red as any Russian
And sometimes, Miles, I'm kinda blue
My grandsire killed in Ohio coal mine
I'm just as anthracite as you.
 
My ancestor's the famous Green Man
Striding through some Irish bog
My uncle's the Jolly Green Giant
I'm cousin to Kermit the Frog.
 
No color is to me unbeautiful
I'm your rainbow troubadour
Call me Homo spectral  
Hear me roar!
