Brooklyn Poetry Reading

Last night I attended
   a reading in Brooklyn 
There were plenty 
       of poets - two guitar players 
            and a flute player 
Brooklyn has some culture!
   I read a poem where I mentioned 
hookers and dope
    Some people may have been upset by that
But I WILL SPEAK MY MIND
