Ta-nehisi called it Mecca
his Hampton University
where the negro gunslinger waltzes
with cotillion debutante
I’ve found it here
scatting on stage in black revelry
a sweaty trumpet pleads:
“love’s in need of a little love today
love
is in need.”
Meyerson Hall held a sing-a-long tribute to the classics sung by Stevie Wonder. somehow, they skipped Isn’t She Lovely. still trying to get over that.
