The Ruse - Part II
Dedicated to the NYS Puerto Rican politicians and the people they manipulate:
"Somos Uno"
Take your tropical self
Into the streets
Of Arbor Hill
And observe
The disappointed bodies
Mourning
Those who went.
Stonewalls and Rockefeller,
Signs of things kept secret.
Be polite,
Do nor wear polyester suites,
Stay away from Cuchifritos,
Drink martinis,
Speak English
Without broken-down clues
And make sure you have a godfather
Dancing by your side.
You sing
In the cold winter
And all the politicians
Will buy a ticket
To your annual fund-raiser.
