raw thoughts? 9.28.24

Haven’t been down this street in months

Did a double take not once

Not twice more thrice but five times

I saw five crimes

Empty storefronts turned to smoke shops

Back empty pockmarked as dope spots

Cops came at high noon to seize mid

Said it was marketed to kids

Now Alchemist posters fill their windows

Write offs for slumlords that’s how the wind blows

A collie plops, his owner leaves it behind

An Olipop, Cherry Vanilla, is on my mind
