poem of the day 10.10.13

black tranny on 4^th avenue brooklyn

the black tranny was on

4^th avenue again this morning

she was wearing a jean skirt

cut up to the crotch

high snakeskin heels

and a top that didn’t cover the belly ring

she was fixing her make-up

in the rearview mirror of some good citizen’s prius

some self-righteous voter

who probably has no clue

that there’s a black tranny

on 4^th avenue sometimes

but i see her a lot

always in the morning

always seemingly on the go

i think she might be a prostitute

but i can’t be certain on that

she fooled me once on 5^th avenue

it was early and i had a hangover

i saw this ass sauntering down the street

in a pink leather mini

and i thought, jesus christ, the world is full

of small miracles

it was sunday morning

and i almost believed in god

until she turned around

to fix her hair in a bodega window

and i saw that it was just the black tranny

but i didn’t mind

i’m a pretty liberal guy

not like most of the italian gorillas

in this neighborhood

sometimes when the black tranny

passes a group of these walking turds

they start laughing and slapping each other silly

a few give out catcalls

one in a jets hat called her a faggot

but the black tranny

just turned and smiled at them

with her mouthful of white teeth

she’s probably making a bundle

on those good old brooklyn boys

when their wives and girlfriends aren’t around

this morning i’m glad the black tranny

is on 4^th avenue

even if she’s not with her

red-headed white tranny friend

it’s good to see her

out here mixing with the assholes

walking their dogs

the jerk-off dude-bros in business suits

the dumb american blonde girls

with their huge ice coffees, cell phones,

and bug-eyed starlet sunglasses

smiling and puckering her lips

as stressed out parents

drag their little brats to school

singing whitney houston songs

and shaking her little ass in the autumn sun

she gives this neighborhood some character

she saves us from being

as bland and dull

as your neighborhood is.
