Gwendolyn Brooks

“Some days you just feel real cool and want everyone to know”
The kind of poem you would read in a toilet and think, fuck!, it is actually so true!

We Real Cool

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.

G. Brooks
