Blue as in boy
As in basketballs and race cars
As in building blocks and video games
But also as in bigger paychecks
As in boys will be boys
As in better than you
Pink as in proper, pretty, perfect
As in princesses and bows
As in parasols and Barbie dolls
But also as in pepper spray
As in policy over women’s bodies
As in pressure to work just as hard for half as much
Gender roles as in colors
Gender roles as in more than you know
As in double standards and inequality
As in fear versus power and control
