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

A poem is itself. "Intersectional" is a cliche'.
