Orange and Red on Red

it’s just [red] and [orange]
[orange] and [red] just as
these [marks] are here
[black] and [white] the
way the [red] stands
square with the [orange]
the way they stand
for [red] and for [orange]
the way these [marks]
stand here for [black]
and for [white] as the [red]
stands for [red] being [red]
being [orange] as [marks]
being [black] and being
[white] just as the [red]
and [orange] here and
there
