Harlem Silhouettes
Late in the evenings when the sun has crossed the Hudson River the streets of Harlem fill with magical silhouettes waiting on 135th Street to take a crosstown bus to complete their purpose. I was told when I arrived that one cannot leave Harlem without completing the journey. I soon understood or believed it to be my birthrights to understand that Harlem was not just a stop off the A-train at 125th Street but a piece of the universe where every story ever told was kept. Maya Angelou, James Baldwin, and Malcom X all agreed the journey needed completion if you were to come to Harlem. There were no exceptions, everyone had a story, everyone had a ticket, even Cousin June Bug from Delphi made the weary journey Up South with a song - for that reason he deservedly deserves a statue somewhere between 110th and 150th street.
