“Life is the affirmation
of elevated principles
that give permanence
to whatever impedes
the progressive attempts
at civilizing the forces of redundancy
when in reality
no one is immune to immunization
so roll up your sleeve
or pull down your pants!”
“21 seconds…
I was only off by one lifetime.”

-Follow the broken brick road
to smashed windows
in the tenement cemetery…
-Along every mugged block,
phantoms in Levi’s
sit on the stoops…
-Graffiti on graffiti,,,
not one plátano left
in the doomed bodega
on Simpson Avenue ///
-Nearby, in the rubble,
dog shit marks the tomb
of the unknown tenant…
-Emigrate to new rhythms,,,
the 7th Ave. Express
leaves behind the past…
-Roaches & rats,
the new landlords
by default.
