Let's take a look at the poem:

We real cool. We  

Left school. We

Sing sin. We  

Thin gin. We  

Jazz June. We

However, this group's individuals are acting in unison, that is, in harmony with one another. They are all "real cool". They have all "left school". They will all "die soon". They are clearly engaging in risky behaviors, and that seems to be what they have in common, what makes them a group.
