Aesthete In Harlem


Strange,
That in this nigger place,
I should meet Life face to face
When for years, I had been seeking
Life in places gentler speaking
Until I came to this near street
And found Life--stepping on my feet!

Mice Crawling on the Ground

Mice Crawling on the Ground
Your lost, Your confused
There's no where to go
Up the street through Herald Square
The alleyway is crowded
This makes my life so unfair
Don't look too hard
Just be prepared.

  1. Ha this is how I felt about going to college the first time lol. I'm sure a lot of people feel this way. I love how you were able to articulate this view into a poem. I like this baby, great job. I appreciate your love for writing. Most people are age are not concerned or doing this stuff, but of course you are because you are the greatest baabe and you are one of a kind!
