We Real Cool , Gwendolyn Brooks, 1960


THE POOL PLAYERS. 

                   SEVEN AT THE GOLDEN SHOVEL.

We real cool. We
Left school. We

Lurk late. We
Strike straight. We

Sing sin. We
Thin gin. We

Jazz June. We
Die soon.

    How To Not Be A Perfectionist

    People are vivid
    And small
    And don't live
    Very long-
