Le monde gris [154]

Le monde gris

Shades of grey
wrap Montreal,
as winter drains all color
from Grace's thoughts.

To be anybody or everybody
yet nobody,
not black or white,
just grey.

She'd shortened her name to G.
added Raymond,
to honor her cat.
Got a credit card in that name.

She liked it.
So anonymous,
eponymous,
perfect.

G. Raymond lives!
Grace hugged her new identity,
to celebrate,
hurried to Tim Horton's.
