Hey C.L.D.,

What I find is:
-------------------------------------------------------
We Real Cool by Gwendolyn Brooks

We real cool. We
left school. We
lurk late. We
strike straight. We
sing sin. We thin gin.
We Jazz June. We die soon.

--------------------------------------- But I find a much longer version without indication of who wrote it also:
--------------------------------------------
we jazz june
we die never
sport natural on our heads and
bass lines on our thumbs and
foretell the future thru
crystal rings and drum breaks
the poet's quest to rule the world
through love-words-and hip BOP
(tearing down walls by laying paper and sound)
cutting with teeth exposed
SPITTING THICK succulence into open mics
pleasure centers exposed in the front row
thrumming deep staccato
from finger snapping
(these are the open ears of America)
come out into the night for
liquorcoffeetea and revelation
2nd story mosques these be
with folks stomping through
in soft soles with hard feet
face UP eyes Wide-receivers
