Equality: a tool of the privileged

Equanimity balances the mind
questions arise regarding consciousness
understandable, I must confess time
and again to put a dime in my hand
liquid sunshine dazzles the mind with breath
impossible to focus, I digress
tie my laces in double knots, my crime
yes, why I run when I can for as far

as I can go, or some goal before death

to run the length around the Equator
objective distance over speed, I bleed
on my shoes after I fall, bulls to gore
lift my heels higher, my knees up, I feed

only pigeons birdseed from a glass jar
for I must wait at times for the Red Line

the mind, out of balance, seeks out dry land
how water appears in motion, it flows
ebbs with the lunar tides, my words seem fine

privileged with education, not money
reason appears as an idea, not bland
in the park nearby, a firefly glows
visions too beautiful for words, simple
indebted to wisdom, pots of honey
lift the fulcrum level, equality
equanimity, how impossible
given the world of politics, pity
equality, a tool, quite possible
divide and conquer, just pop the pimple
