PhillySound: new poetry

I have this friend who lives in Patchogue, Long Island. His commute to Penn Station for work is two hours. He believes he is a New Yorker. Philadelphians are New Yorkers too. Theyre not Manhattanites though. And these are the "those" who decry Philadelphia. Wouldn't you want to justify your $3000 per month rent too? Philadelphia hasn't been run through with retail chains, just like some of Brooklyn hasn't, most of Queens hasn't, all of the Bronx. (Staten Island is a neighborhood of Cleveland.) Starbucks Gap Urban Outfitters Gap Starbucks. Starbucks Gap Urban Outfitters Gap Starbucks. It's a street map for consumorons. I really like the rattlesnake museum in Albuquerque.
