We yell from both sides of the room,
and only hear what echoes back,
a world that’s only white or black.
if something’s gray we must assume
it came out sideways from the womb.
it’s weird, it’s strange, and less than whole;
it won’t fit neatly on the poll.
I need a label to approve,
mock with a meme, reject, remove,
and then move down my Facebook scroll.
