A poem a day for 2013 - day 40 - Black like me

A white man
In a parking lot
Today
Stood next to me
Unzipped his pants
And let urine
Stream from his 
Penis
Into a puddle 
That will one 
Day disappear
But that pool
In its evaporated state
Will never be
As invisible as 
I was
A black woman
Standing next to him
Under the sun
