I wonder
How the people of 1700 America
Would react
If someone went back and told them
About the future constitution
“All men are created equal,”
I would say
Then I would go on,
And explain the bad part
“But if you’re
Female
Black
Poor
Different,
You will have to wait
Centuries
For all of the equal folks
To be hit in the head by a rock
So they can think straight.
Until then,
All of you imperfect people
Are out of luck.”
