Equity isn't
The width of a lane
A couple extra inches
That make us all the same
Equity isn't
A smiling brown face
And hot pants on a bike
Sex in an exotic place
Equity isn't
A list of easy steps
That make our biggest problem
Into boxes you can check
Equity isn't
Policing a divide
Where some can travel freely
Others, stand aside
Equity isn't
Settled by a report
Every time I write
I wait for the retort
What equity is:
A landscape we don't know
It means a future world
Where every child can grow
If you deny how far we are
From reaching that plateau
Equity isn't
Because you won't make it so
