for Victor Poison-Tete, and, in memory of Cary Gevanter
twinkling eyes up to the mirror
pancho villa swears
with an ugly set of tweezers
yanking out nasal hairs
two doors down a homeless psycho
passed out on the stairs
businessmen in wrinkled suits
no one looks and no one cares
hello and welcome to brooklyn
no escape from van brunt station
where some rather hopeless creatures
stew inside of situations
there's a mental case who yells
man, the devil's everywhere
wooden and quixotic billboard
dangles from a culvert creaking
hello and welcome to brooklyn
looking so insane this urchin
pulling down his underwear
alienation of all kinds
struts right down the street
worn out workers limping in
commuter trains that disappear
bollixed by their solitude
trapped inside a world of fear
paranoids who'd mitigate
sudden threats to life and limb
suffocating neck deep in
a stack of pimps and heart disorders
hello and welcome to brooklyn
feeling dazed and on the ropes
the gallavanting comatose
cavemen messing coalescing
masters of this concrete maze
piling out from subway tunnels
in a toothless mindless haze
hello and welcome to brooklyn
