and wrap around you,
Take the neon lights and make a crown,
Take the Lenox Avenue busses,
Taxis, subways,
And for your love song tone their rumble down.
Take Harlem's heartbeat,
Make a drumbeat,
Put it on a record, let it whirl,
And while we listen to it play,
Dance with you till day--
Dance with you, my sweet brown Harlem girl.

This peom reminded me of those days I spent in Harlem in New York when I lived there.
It is quite a hussle and bussle but there is this unlying feeling that there is way too much going on for what meets the eye. I remember spending time at the Lenox Lounge...sitting there admiring all these people who just wanted a little part of each other, even if just for these few minutes. In and out of each others lives... The juke box there was a fond little memory as well...not too much music but just enough to find something you could fall in love hearing all over again.
