Petition to replace the statue of Christopher Columbus with a Black Jesus wearing a Yankees fitted hat and Timbs, from the mouth of the homeless man who refused my granola bars and took the money instead…

Don’t talk to me unless you saw that corner store
go from the Indians to Hamadi’s Uncle to a Starbucks.
Where you stay? Where your grandma stay?
