Summer in Bed-Stuy

[TimeOut]

please decide which one you want to keep the one here or the one in  novice?


the most noticable thing for me was the fact that a fair bit of it was alien to me. it could just be me of course and everyone else gets it. the vignettes have no or little connection for me. on their own i like them but i have no point of reference. wish i could have been more use.

Summer in Bed-Stuy

Step on a crack
You'll break mother's
Back a weak opening that feels like a cliched proverb

Chicos
Come eat your hotdogs
Before they get cold

Baby please listen
It's not like I'm selling crack
Like anyone on this block

You got your church clothes
Dirty again
Your abuela is gonna matarte

It's only a year lease baby
And look
We're only steps from the G

Your tio Raul is out today

Seth just texted me about this rooftop party

Please no piensen en ayer

Do I really have to call Raul for our shit,
again?

Sorry, Im pretty sure I deleted it out of the other topic. To give you some context, Bedford Stuyvesant (Bed-Stuy) used to be a part of Brooklyn riddled with crime that is now gentrifying. The neighborhood is home to a lot of African Americans and Latino people that are now having to brush elbows with the "gentrifiers." I tried to show how different these worlds are yet connected by such a disgusting thread.
