Too much modern art
Makes me sick to my stomach
Not much heart or romance
Mostly vitriol and bungholes.

Harlem Cliché

As you know from movies and
News broadcasts Harlem
Is full of church-going people
Worship centres every half block
Barbershops alive at night with laughter
Community comes and goes
Harlem is where children play
In the 7th Avenue snow bank
With silver pails and mittens on.

In rolling buses? Surely
They had worse suspension
Than this?

Write large, I guess, while the
Bus driver whistles southern
Gospel tunes.
