In a city of dirt Where a train High up Can darken a street So black niggers Can masturbate In the shadows Of dusty door fronts With eyes wiggling For stealing I sit from my window And watch No symphony orchestra Showers spirituality on me Mine is a third rate movie Reeking of urine.
Irwin R. Shaw - August 1st 1982
In a city of dirt
Where a train
High up
Can darken a street
So black niggers
Can masturbate
In the shadows
Of dusty door fronts
With eyes wiggling
For stealing
I sit from my window
And watch
No symphony orchestra
Showers spirituality on me
Mine is a third rate movie
Reeking of urine.
