Gentrification I
By: Abe Sierra Jr.

They came
     They saw
          They conquered

 

A cavalry

     Of Kevins and Karens

A legion

     Of Lincolns and Laurens

 

Armed

     With yoga mats

Fueled

     By gourmet coffee 
     

This army takes no prisoners    

​

​

Bodegas became boutiques
     The locals are now antiques
