Connie Wanek - Coloring Book

Each picture is heartbreakingly banal, br a kitten and a ball of yarn, br a dog and bone. br The paper is cheap, easily torn. br A coloring book's authority is derived br from its heavy black lines br as unalterable as the ten commandments br within which minor decisions are possible: br the dog black and white, br the kitten gray. br Under the picture we find a few words, br a title, perhaps a narrative, br a psalm or sermon. br But nowhere do we come upon br a blank page where we might justify br the careless way we scribbled br when we were tired and sad br and could bear no more.
