Midnight In Dogtown

An observation of a neighborhood near a college I attended.

“Between Forest and University”

Midnight in Dog Town-
Dem bitches in heat.
Performin lascivious acts
In de ally, jus down da street.
Dem signs go awarnin
to keep offn da grass
they’z lifting they skirts
an spoorin dat ass.
Tick-tackin of claws,
Click-clackin of heels,
howlin da siren’s silence
an da squealin of wheels.          
         
Dere’s a Great Dame
stanin by da phone.
Fer twenny dollars, she yank yer collar,
or dig. Til she finds da bone.
Mos folks is destitute,
In dis nekkid lil town.
Ev’rybody’s lookin for trick
Dat’s how da deals go down.

Booty’z for sale
So’s da drugs,
By bushy-tailed floozies
and two-legged thugs.
Streetlights is dim
always movin too fas.
Stuff all got price-tags,
but, don nothin las.
Midnight in Dog Town,
bitches gunnin fer a fight,
Anything is possible…



in the middle of the night.
