Along the dark streets of Brooklyn
criminals thrive.
Backstreets littered,
blood splattered
and death around the corner.
“WEDON'TSERVESTRING!!”
A group of four
orphans and gangsters
Lionel, Tony,
Frank, and Coney,
wonder all around.
Smith, Court, Bergen, Lafayette,
my home streets.
“CLARINETMILK! EATME!!”
Frank gets stabbed
chasing K-Cars
no one knows
everyone will worry.
“HANDLEWITHSCARE, SCANDLEWITHHAIR!!”
Life is messed up in many freak'n ways.
“DUCKMAN! DOGBOY! CONFESSDOG!!”
Free Human Freak Show
harassed in every way
Lionel Essrog with tourettes.
“SCAREME, SKULLMAN. SKULLAMUM BAILEY. SKINNYMAN BRAINY!!”
White Castle burgers,
all he can afford
six burgers, six bites, at six-fortyfive at night.
“EAT ME MISTER DICKY-WEED!!”
Who donnit?
Life goes on.
For some.
