black and white drinking fountains
COLORED
or so the label would suggest
and as i watch
where the waters crest
a clearness
flows through me
you see
i really understood
what these markers meant
mines
is not dark nor dense
a reflection of my murky tint
a constant projection
of the contraptions they invent
in an attempt
to convince
the masses
that we are
of separate classes
sure
you drink from a different spring
called white
but don’t you know
that these fountains flow
from the same pipes
which exposes the truth in life
that is always protected
through structural designs
and misleading signs
that disguise this point
for the neglected
wake up America
water
is always
CONNECTED
