inequity



when you first realise

his world and yours

are not the same

a tiny straw ripes inside

the world will always be brighter

sunnier and easier

in his dam ugly shoes

and you become just a spectator

of his amaizing upbringing

yours is not quite so lighting

everybody expects great effort from a woman

mother, wife, caretaker, worker

everything everything everything

he's amaizing for being present

you're quie alrightr

or maybe even remarkable on the good days

but only if you make a difference.
