“Dying’s Not That Bad I Tried it Once in Pittsburgh” – Excerpt 1 – By: Daniel Yasko
By Editor Kyle August 1, 2018This building is known
As Dagget Street
It’s where we call home
It’s where we smoke crack
And sing along to old punk records
Until we wake the homeless
Sleeping in the stairwells
Its where the pitbulls
Are barely held back by their chains
Snapping as we walk by
Its where the graffiti writers
Have come and gone
Leaving their mark for us to find
It’s where they find bodies
Gang style execution
Crime scene tape fluttering in the wind
It’s where you told me
That you loved me
And I pretended that I didn’t hear
It’s where you were too afraid
To say it again
Before we passed out drunk
In each other’s arms
