somebody bought
the house across the street
and painted the
fuckin’ brick white
Lowes truck pulled
up
dumped off some
cheap-assed Frigidaire
stainless steel
kitchen shit
and now it’s back
on the market
a hundred grand to
the “good”
the coffee shop
ain’t open at 6 am
a workin’ mans
coffee
is served at 6 am
they tried to be
cool
Black Lives Matter
signs
No Justice No Peace
Know Justice Know
Peace signs
no avail, natch
“when y’all show
up the neighborhood goes to shit”
sez the neighbor
“ironic” sez my
boy
“nothing ironic
about it” sez neighbor
“we get the shit
end of the stick either way
my ‘hood now be
what they call 'mixed'
which would be
fine
if it was the
landlords that was mixed
but ya know that
ain’t the case”
