Harlem
by Evangeline Avlonitis

Crossing Martin Luther King
Boulevard
Meet Jimmy Jazz
on Malcolm X Boulevard
stop by the Lenox Lounge or
Yacine's Place
The Ethiopian outfitters
strut
mity fine
in Bouba Fashion
Hair braiding is a tight
elegance on the street
Saunter by the Boro Hotel
Holy Ghost!
People stylin'
Profilin'
It's nice and spicy
Have a Jimbo burger
and a Dunkin Donut
Step Lively
'cause you're in Harlem
Crossing 125th Street!
