somewhere,
we were told that the promise land
could be found above 137th st.
somewhere.
jazzed snapbacks and fast words
a renaissance and that swoosh
a new wave and those jordans
corner pick ups and stoop drop offs
the sweats managed by sidewalk shade,
a game of straight dominos,
and some bumpin merengue
somewhere.
dominican ices and too many ambulances
mexican sopas and forgotten cemeteries
sometimes i'm a mami
but other times i'm that white bitch with a tan
a police raid jams up the school buses
the projects wave over to the brownstones
the brownstones raise a hand and offer a good day in return
somewhere.
maybe the promise land we were told about
is in that abandoned P.S. on 145th
the one with shoes hanging from it's telephone wires
yeah...maybe
or what if it's being sold and bought by that taco truck...
the one parked outside those vacant classrooms,
the one that services our faded nights
somewhere.
