The Cooks
(Inspired by " we real cool "
by Gwendolyn Brooks )
The Cooks
We poor cooks, we
Read no books, we
Cook food, we
ain't shrewd, we
Stand long, we
Sing song , we
Stir & fry , we
Seldom cry , we
Roast & smoke , we
Stay broke , we
Burn skin , we
Rot within , we
Work with fire , we
Never tire ,
Until .
We
Hit the pyre .
The Dropout ....
