(FYI - this site may not be workplace appropriate as writers tend to curse a lot. Not that Andrea's poem is inappropriate - at least this one isn't).

Notes:
Ad's beanie swelled when the editor said this "Thanks so much for contributing this wonderful poem!"

This poem is about living in Williamsburg in 1997 with a volatile roommate who eventually threw all of her stuff out the window on Bedford Avenue.

About The Blue Jew Yorker:
The Blue Jew Yorker reads submissions year round in search of poetry, essays and other expressions which expose the raw human voices that you do and do not hear on a Manhattan bound F-train. Excavating all stages of transformation in the Melting Pot, from uncooked whole carrots to potato-meat amalgamations where the original object is indecipherable, most attitudes and genres are considered. Penetrated husks peeled down to thumping toes with reverent screaming and irreverent whimpering is encouraged. Non-Jewish welcome. Tourists accepted.
