Black And White Poem by Chen-ou Liu
Black And White
a haibun (haiku mixed with the prose)
The verdict blasts from the wall-mounted TV. The diners, mostly white, freeze, and the silence falls over the room. Suddenly, clapping, cheering, and yelling from waiters and the kitchen staff.
frosty window
in gathering dusk I stare
into my reflection
