The Birth Of Chicano Poetry

Pronto wey
get in get in

shut up and drive, ese
cussed lalo jr

after they’d ripped off
poetry

in broad
daylight

from the American public
and hauled ass

to the wordless barrio
when they got back

to the safety
of lalo’s casa

(well
his abuela’s casa)

and they looked
at the stolen poetry

they got all pissed off
chingao jr

this American poetry
is worthless caca
