Shades
To a dog or cat, everything looks gray.
People, buildings, streets, etc.
They don’t see the world in black and white,
But more in monochrome.
They may not see colors, but they still see shades.
They see shades of people, shades of objects
Shades of things they know and don’t recognize.
To them, the world is subtle and suggestive.
This is why they sometimes act as if they see things that aren’t there.
They see more than we do, but in shades instead of bold colors.
The colors sometimes blind us to what’s really there.
