Cultural Front: The Big Smoke: "Equality"

Cultural Front: The Big Smoke: "Equality": [ The Big Smoke reading group ]  “Equality” is the first poem that we cover in this third section of poems, “Knee on the Canvas”, in The ... What stood out to me in the poem was the very last stanza, where Matejka says "The police officers loitering near their bicycles in front of the bakery didn't even bother trying to catch us." This stood out because usually when the law is being broken, the authority figure that is around questions the individual(s). In this case there are two men speeding in nice luxurious cars one as is African American and the other is Polish. However, the policemen are also breaking the law and probably are on "break",  while the two men of different races speed by with out the policemen going after them.
