Image for the poem Letting My Brooklyn Out

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
