Your prior knowledge pales
by comparison
you’ve been to Jersey
and Puerto Rico if you’re lucky

He’s cruised
multiple places around the world
His parents use words
he’s never heard
around the dinner table
discourse ensuing

My class averages improve
central tendency groups
near the middle
creeps towards equality
thereof some version

Not that your gifts don’t matter too
you’re naturally smarter
know what to do
in more varied situations
socially astute

And yet I’d like to take you
like confetti
shake it up
float down wherever
happens to happen
rigged though
those previously with least
landing in the laps of most
spend a few years leveling

redefine the domain
of inequality.
