about the big changes in New York City
with the election
of the socialist communist
34 year old
nepo baby,
former rapper
and food truck worker from
Uganda. now Mayor.
we love
the city,
walking around,
Central Park, the Broadway Shows,
pizza
and delis galore.
Chinatown is a delight,
as is
Soho and Noho,
the Village and Battery Park.
not to mention
the museums
and the chaotic fun of Times Square.
and now, my comrades,
let's praise
the Lord, or Allah, or whoever
you choose
to bow to,
everything is free.
free free free
with a social worker on every
corner
to hug us when we bleed.
how blessed we
are
with rents frozen for eternity.
no need to hop
the turnstile anymore
to ride the subway,
or sneak
onto buses, or ditch the check
at Katz's deli,
or Sparks,
the Rockefellers and Gatsby's got that.
no longer do we have to bring
three of our saved
paychecks
when we get off the bus at
Penn Station.
and thankfully there will be
less policemen
there to harass us
when being robbed of the few
dollars, watches and rings
we've brought.
paradise for you,
paradise for me.
let's rejoice, let's sing.
