Dark Or White
is the flesh on the leg and thigh of the human
dark meat
or is the hands and feet
the mortician says he doesn’t know
funerals are not priced that way
the medical examines says he doesn’t know
it might be the middle finger or the middle toe
the politician says he doesn’t know
but if you are poor and going to eat it cook it slow
corporations say that they don’t know
it doesn’t affect their cash flow
liberal cannibals say that they don’t discriminate
all parts are equal.
dark or white
