Amiri Baraka, formerly Leroi Jones; under which identity he wrote this I can't say at the moment, so I'll give him his chosen name.

MONDAY IN B-FLAT
(Amiri Baraka)

I can pray
all day
& God
wont come.

But if I call
911
The Devil
Be here

in a minute!

My grandparents had a used bookstore in the Village. That's where they met.
