[hometext] => Written to celebrate the city, past and present.
[bodytext] => Streetlights & curves of neon make a glow, reflected on rainwashed Fifty-Second Street, midtown Inside Three Deuces, a crush of bodies begets heat like a thousand suns. The atmosphere on stage is cool yet hectic; Miles, Monk, & Mingus hold court here. An icy trumpet run makes a satin blade through steamy air; a coal-black man in gray gabardine hold his date [in strawberry curls & flowered silk] by her waist; the solo halts; the couple applauds, spilling whiskey, and wails for more This was a far off moment- 1956 when the world was pure though even then, dope needles lined the cracks of Harlem sidewalks, a signal the renaissance was over Tonight, seddity girls from St. Albans, Queens roam in packs along brick Village sidewalks, slick with the perspiration of a passing squall, of New York summer. The Village Gate sits shuttered, and Coltrane has wailed his last- the copper-colored girls strut & sway in their bright designer frocks while the harsh metallic voices of hip-hop raconteurs blare from the windows of shiny Blazers & Cherokees. One New York moment dies away in memory while another lives on, through another rainy evening.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
