Why Brown Boys Die
El ocho patas
knows why brown boys die
shot while they walk
in the hood
while they ride in cars
down the wrong street
while they buy cigarettes
at Family Mart
while they talk
to brown girls
while the sun
beats down on them
while the rain
soaks their bandanas
while they proclaim
their macho ways
while they run
and jump over fences at night
while they trespass
on apartments not of their own
while they breathe
somebody else's blue oxygen
while they stand on the corner
of a forbidden boulevard
el ocho patas
knows why the brown boys die
