For the Bushwick that is overcast and littered on a cool
Tuesday.
For the Bushwick full of candy factories and all
tomorrow’s sarcastic attitudes.
For the Bushwick that is not fresh-faced and from
Oklahoma.
For the Bushwick that has lived in your building for 25
years.
For the Bushwick off the L-line, holding its breath and
waiting for the next big wave to hit.
For the Bushwick under the J-train, damp and drippy and
99 cent on neon.
For the Bushwick that owes you money.
For the Bushwick before the Flushing Avenue repairs.
For the Bushwick that is not Bushwick.
For the Bushwick that is not East Williamsburg.
For the Bushwick that is not a coastal metropolitan
city, but everywhere in between.
For the Bushwick that was paved over, the parking lot
became a parking lot.
For the Bushwick that will secede from Brooklyn in 2022.
Por el Bushwick, se habla espanol.
For the Bushwick that is the world- that does not speak
English, that goes to bed when the Eastern Sea Board
awakens.
For the Bushwick of the dreams that Bushwick will
fulfill.
For the Bushwick of the mind.
