Lines from Poems
Beverly Hills: "Even the leaves fall down in lovelier patterns here." is a line that sticks out to me because leaves cannot be controlled and yet they seem to even be perfect there.
Kitchenette building: "We are things of dry hours and the involuntary pain." It speaks to me in a way that opens the eyes.
Harlem: "does it dry up like a raisin in the sun?" It is an odd way to refer to a dream.
