This poem deals with the fiction of race and gender as distinct biological realities. Of course, as social constructs, race and gender have profound impacts on our lives together.
Buy Racial? Bi Gender?
They were neither
Black nor white
Yet
Both
Black as white
By the grays of God
Like wise
They were neither
Male nor female
Yet
Both
Male and female
As a parent
Too sum
Sew they seam
