Gender and Equality

Gender: are we equals?
Equals in what, I ask. And on what grounds must we compare ourselves? To what end? As I look at you my love, would I not want to be your equal, your slave, your master?
As Sam Hamill says in the “The Sound of Water”: ‘It is easy to imitate; it is difficult to attain.’ As the debate rages and the war of the righteous and the pretentious continues, we walk through the days of spring, summer, autumn and winter to our demise. As we breathe small clouds at the white old moon, I go with you to where we must rest. Only our differences made it worthwhile.

“Pretending wisdom,
a man tells a woman all
about the eclipse”

Why would I want to understand your mysterious ways? Why would I dare compare myself to you? The futility warms my heart tonight.
