My New Neighborhood

John Gorka

This neighborhood is full of mutts

Barking kids and arguments

People yell from block to block

And quiet down by 10 O'clock



They blow their horns in a kind of code

And gun their engines in the road

With both hands they check their hair

Waiting for the girls downstairs



In my new neighborhood

I live here

My new neighborhood

This year



This neighborhood has corner bars

Family stores and teenage cars

The old kids run on gasoline

All lit up by the coke machine



There's jumprope for the younger ones

And those who work and play with guns

One is working on his right

To kill a shadow's appetite



In my new neighborhood

I live here

My new neighborhood

This year



Well another day and another fight

It's just two neighbors in the night

Wanda punched and Ruben cried

And Wanda she got locked outside



The sirens will come through again

And none of this looks good in rain

The steel looms like a dinosaur

A train goes by and cries for more



From my new neighborhood

I live here

My new neighborhood

This year



My new neighborhood

I live here

My new neighborhood

This year
