“Because he became a writer, many of us became writers. Before ‘Down These Mean Streets,’ we could not find a book by a Puerto Rican writer in the English language about the experience of that community, in that voice, with that tone and subject matter.” – via NYTimes.
I would not be who I am today, this blog would not exist – had this book not been read or written.
The street’s got kicks man, like a bargain shelf, In fact, cool-breeze, it’s got love just like anyplace else.It’s got high-powered salesmen who push mucho junk, And hustlers who can swallow you up in a chunk.It’s got sewers that swallow all the street pours down its throat It’s got hope wearing an old over-coat.It’s got lights that shine up the dark and make the scene like new It sells what you don’t need And never lets you forget what you blew.It’s got our beautiful children living in all kinds of hell hoping to survive and making it well Swinging together in misty darkness With much love to share Smiling a Christ-like forgiveness, That only a ghetto cross can bear.The streets got life, man, like a young tender sun, and gentleness like long awaited dreams to come.For children are roses with nary a thorn, forced to feel the racist’s scorn, Our children are beauty with the right to be born.Born anew at each a.m. Like a child out of twilight, flying toward sunlight, Born anew at each a.m.

Thing to do today
– Find happiness
– Search for an immaculate sweetheart
– Wash my cloths
– Write a remarkable novel
– Appointment with the dentist
– Stop watching TV
– Organize my closet
So many things to do so little time, but
at least I prioritized my list as the experts recommend.
However I must begin with the cloths,
all of them are dirty and I need a clean shirt for the dentist.
The happiness can wait. I have put it off for
43 years, it can wait one more day.
The same is for the sweetheart
but the appointment with the dentist is easy
I just need to go and I’ll get that off my list.
For the novel I need to buy paper first,
I’ll write it in my list for tomorrow.
I would organize my closet but I want
to watch what happen to the stupid Lucy.
As soon as the series finish I’ll have time
to organize not just the closet but my life.
I’m doing two things of seven.
Not bad! Yesterday I only finish one of six.
The experts recommend not trying to accomplish
everything in one day. It may be frustrating.
I think I’m in the right path to fix my life.
