Once upon a time
over twenty years ago
I wanted to move to this neighborhood.
It was within my price range
but a bit more alternative than I was looking for
even though I was looking for an alternative.

I ended up feeling it was too far away from the action
so moved the other way
into Harlem.
Now
I am doing the crawl
entering club after club
that is catering to who I was
when I looked around here.

On this day
I have found a home
twenty years after I sought it.

Harlem was kind of cool
too
I guess.
