SoHo
South of Houston,
an ethnic divide
that turned into yuppiedom
and new hipsters,
but not the Beat kind.
I miss those snaps,
the Nueyorican taps
of bullet fast words
steppin’ into the streets
with wild eyes beats
and the howling rage
at hypocracy.
Now all you find
is dead eyed
zombied out,
but starbucks energized
bunnies
and freaky fellows,
all into themselves
as though they
knew something
more than the chase for
money and ***
And they say this
is the American Dream;
follow the greed
as humanity burns
to pay for these pleasures.
SoHo, Village groupies
who long ago
gave up their tongues
and their eyes...
