Blackout
by M.A. Internicola
the best girls always loved me till’ i changed
my scene. they push lazy out the door with my
piss and vinegar and want to see me in my worst
state to kick me when i’m down. they don’t
know nothing bout’ saving me. the heat is on.
the power is on everywhere cept’ chelsea and my
block: blacks, pr’s, gays, and whatever you
call people like me. the hipsters are bullshit.
the lower east side is trust fund heaven. junior
says at least the chicks uptown know their deal.
so keep your brooklyn t-shirts and gas station hats,
those cute little beat up shoes you got for three bucks.
it took you an hour to pick out your shitty outfit just
to say you didn’t care what you looked like anyway.
your boyfriend and you are the biggest fucking posers
in the world. 9:03 the lights came on and your boyfriend
and you are still the biggest fucking posers in the world.
