Letting My Brooklyn Out
half the fucks in Brooklyn
cant afford to live there anymore.
Its one of the shoplifting capitols
of the world.
the way I grew up
was to see if me and my friends
could stuff
our mouths with egg foo young
and shrimp rolls
in a little Chinese Restaurant
near the exit door
and than run for our lives
without paying the bill
and thats me
and my dumb shit
glue sniffing friends
letting our Brooklyn out
1961
