A Spectrum

Gender norms or gender forms?

By Brittany JosiePublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Cut into the cake

Is it blue?

Or pink?

Maybe it’s neither

But we won’t know that

Until baby is here

Yet we already

Decided

That gender is

Decided

Decidedly

Blind

To the spectrum

Of colors

Unknown

Colors

Not shown

For fear

Of loneliness

A mess

Of gender norms

Who’s form

Only seeks

To dilute

The vibrancy

Of equality.
