Across from Love Street
Two blocks from the Rhythm and Blues
Graffiti of poetry
Written for travelers like you
While the musicians penetrate their horns
By the barriers of raging fire
The cold crisp breeze
Blows melodies a little further
Across from Love Street
There lie many books
Authors of rich silky thoughts
Langston Hughes
to Gwendolyn Brooks
Across from Love Street
Two blocks from the Rhythm and Blues
Graffiti of poetry
Written for travelers like you
