Equality

I hold my shit in,
wait til the haves are through.
Then I meekly take
my bloated turn.
I wait in back of,
foodlines up ahead.
I hope to fill my plate
before all is gone.
I see equality
not a man/woman issue.
No, it's much biggerbroader
than just that.
It whimpers like an ocean,
breathes in and out like waves.
It searches vanity
for a meaty bone.
We dip our painted toes in,
screech a bit, then bury it.
Unmarked graves,
in a wealth of sand.
