DAY AND NIGHT

The day is a Negro
 Yelling out of breath.
The night is a Negro
 Laughing up to death.

The day is a jazz band
 Blasting loud and wild.
The night is a jazz band
 Moaning Blues songs, child.

The day is the sunshine
 Undressed in the street.
The night is the sunshine
 Dressed from head to feet.

I am like a rainbow
 Arched across the way.
Yes, I am a rainbow
 Being night nor day.
