Wrote this listening to:

The sound of my hood.

Broken

I live in a neighborhood of broken homes

Everyone died a long time ago

Yet somehow they still know how to walk

Remarkable

To ameliorate is impossible at this point

It’s Anomalous

They find peace in music

Beverage

Testify through narrative on the corner

The kids I once taught

Now teach their kids

One thing only …. how to survive

I live in a neighborhood of broken

Broken everything.
