Black, White, & Indigo
The day after every primary color vanished
except for indigo
the world was outraged
but that's just what the historians say
no one was outraged
we were in awe
we found it interesting
we thought it was semi-permanent
and would rinse away
even the fear subsided a week or two later
when an explicit tape was "leaked"
and the fashion industry figured out how to
accessorize with a limited color palate
