  • Goodbye child. You were born an American, though you'll never see its shores again. Your formula has been traded for a case to knock down at noon, but I remember you as I kick aside the lychee pits outside my door, as they drag their feet and never cease to stare, as I carefully place my steps, avoiding kittens and phlegm on my way up to Delancy. We are the psychos, the pathetic, the quitters, the all time losers. We are the cretins, uncivilized millions, second rate human begins. We are the heathens. Though all their origins change they all pass through Hester Street. We all have. I would not have put my money on this horse, but it's won anyhow and sent its competitors into shock. Yield to the Mongol Hordes! Flee from the Celtic roar! Set sail for the foamy shores.
    The heathens have won again.
    "we are the heathens" by the van pelt
