Brooklyn Arrival 2005 Michael Donnelly


Jordan, Allen, Perez,
Gershwin, Robinson, Whitman
Basquiat, Giuliani, Guthrie.
The scene was sucked
before we could come to it. Everybody
now shops at Target. The open lawn in Prospect Park
is badly attended to, cut but not watered. I wonder
if residents will get dibs on season's tickets
when the Nets stadium finally goes up,
to house the shouting fans.
