Two Horizontal Lines
By Haley McShane
Two horizontal lines
Numbers on each side.
Woman and man
Of little money
and much-
Equal.
Souls from blistering Georgia heat
Unknown jungles of the Amazon
Lively European metropolis-
Balance.
Unkempt rags lugged through polluted water,
Greedy diamond pendants pepper palaces-
Levelled.
The world will wallow until
the drawbridge lowers at dusk.
