Excerpt from Streets and Shadows

Song of Fifth Avenue

A Long thin way
Drawn like a thread through the heart of the
city.
Avenue of rich, of poor -
Vibrating with color -
Swaying with humanity
Beating time with the pulse of Life,
Suffocated by the pressure of Life,
Crushed - trampled upon by streaming flows of
Life.

Fifth Avenue!
I will write your song in clatter and din,
With tramping of feet,
Endless, ceaseless noise.
I will write your song in sorrow - joy,
In birth - death,
In creation - destruction,
In beauty and ugliness.
I will sing your song in spite of tradition,
Careless of tradition.
I will sing your song of creeds, of races
Dissolved in one - I will sing your song
In laughter - irony - despair.
My music will come of all time,
Reach all time -
