The Geometry of Intersectionality

 

1. Crossroads

 

Intersections aren’t crossroads, you know

Where you can choose to stop a while and talk

With a man walking some other way in life

And learn something over a borrowed cigarette

 

2. Intersections

 

At intersections you never meet anyone

It’s all about obedience to lights and signs

And painted arrows in the road that seem

To point everywhere except where you want to go

 

3. Stop-for-awhile signs

 

There are stop signs in life. You have to stop

But then you go – a stop sign isn’t forever
