Alexandria Ocasio Cortez

Erren Kelly

Her name is an exclamation
Point, the girl from the
Hood, who found freedom
In books
Who dances the way Frida
Kahlo painted
Whose voice is the thunder
Of Willie Bobo’s conga
Her walk is the Bronx
That dares anyone to
Steer her wrong
She’s the hood girl
Made good
Who could save the world
With her swag alone
She’s the ingredient from
The salad bowl
Shirley Chisolm would be proud
Of
A poem from Maya’s gun
Shot into social action
Langston’s dream came
True
