Written In Black And White Lynn White
Mondays were washdays. They had decreed it long ago, written it down in black and white, and They must be obeyed still everyone knew it. Thus every Monday the women dressed in black and left their neat white houses and carried their white bundles of grubby grey washing to the river to scrub and scrub to make it white again. No colours were allowed. They had decreed it long ago, written it down in black and white to be obeyed for ever. So the clean washing was wrapped in white bundles and tightly bound, bound for home with the black clad women just as They had decreed in black and white. No one knew why but all obeyed. It was the way things were written in black and white. Every Monday in black and white. zenina
