Desolate thoughts 
and counting crows
Specs of light 
spread across
Across the bridge so far
The Darkened moonlit sky
Red white and blue
Neon lights
Sparkle for the few
Left hanging out
In Spanish Harlem
That very night
Looking through
The windows of lost 
souls
I cry laugh and rejoice 
Seen what you didn't
See in me 
And what I couldn't see
In  myself
Images of yesterday
Entombed in our hearts
Minds seeking outlets
Through an opening
That wasn't there
Seeing Mirror images
Of myself the fellas 
The girls what a world
What a time
What a life
We jitterbuged
Around the concrete jungle
The streets showing off
Our colors galore
Our names of Lore 
Shown on those white walls
Girls For show
Carmen Linda Brendalee too
The other side 
Chino Tony and jap
Say hey we can't forget 
Bozo the base
The Lords we were
We sang from 
Stoop to stoop
Subway to rooftop
Harmonizing to the sun
Singing into the darkness 
On the stage we call life
Wayback when
Sharing windows
Of yesteryear
Friends of yesterday
Mirror images
Shadows of... 
Oneself

Hi Tony: I really enjoyed your poetic ethnic images of yesteryear. It brings back memories of my singing days long ago when I was a youth in Philly
