They raise chickens there
In the yard behind the house
Behind my own house

Since bodegas have
been around for much longer
than Starbucks, wouldn’t that
make Starbucks the pretentious bodega?

One taboo place now.
How crazy for being here.
Acceptance comes when?

Anyone care to answer with one?

Matt (although not sure which Matt you are) this was a great idea, and get everyone thinking about their neighborhood up close.

D and Rays – you’re were great!

Debris on my stoop.

This was hilarious – how about a switch up to limericks? Those are easier. There once was a man from Bushwick…

what the hell happened
to my easy parking space?
Oversized vans, bite me.

a try at Haiku

hushed voices on stoops
as pale light colors the sky
only in Bushwick
