Hanging
They hung sneakers
on telephone lines
Between Avenue A and Loisada
where you could see countless pairs
strung up
like how they used to
hang
us brothers
down South
And in the shadows
of all those deadmen shoes
crawled skeletal-shadows
always fiending for a fix
As we surfed our skateboards
through drugged-out-waves
of our Lower East Side
New York City
Streets.
