Bro’<br />
Michelle Costanza<br />
Street-walking, quick-talking<br />
His supreme eminence:<br />
King of the Concrete<br />
Hisses from his corner throne<br />
<strong>The</strong> upmost royal decree,<br />
To me obscene,<br />
Yet custom calls it sweet.<br />
Over my dead body.<br />
Banters fly like sparks<br />
From the driveled mouths of cantors<br />
Upon self-righteous podiums.<br />
Yet no one would dare knock them down.<br />
Eyes like stricken matches now<br />
Exceed their common, tired glow.<br />
And from these trembling lips escape<br />
“I‟ll have you know,<br />
Can‟t faze me, so<br />
Don‟t gaze me, bro‟.”
