so you're from brooklyn?

Everyone is so surprised these days that I am actually a brooklyn native. How can I speak like i read plays on TV, with an articulate specificity... that cannot 'place' me?

When did brooklyn have one way of speak? Like when all black people lived in bed stuy, with one walk, one job, one window, one view. Thats not me. Thats not most ppl I would even argue. Like when I decided I would date women.

Like when I told ppl i lived in park slope.
The other side of brooklyn. downtown. boriquaville, new found yuppie land.
