Frat Boy Duplex

After Jericho Brown & Terrance Hayes

Undergrads wade through the scorching afternoon
clutching sweating six-packs of cheap beer.

Clutching sweating six-packs of shitty beer,
white shirtless undergrads climb a ladder.

Shirtless white undergrads climb a ladder –
frat boys are drinking on their roof again.

frat boys are drinking on their roof again,
sound system pumping n-words & bass rumbles.

The sound system pumps n-words & bass rumbles
through open windows, backyards & boulevards.

Through open windows, backyards & boulevards
party music spreads hate & violence.

Party music spreads hate & violence –
undergrads wade through the scorching afternoon.
