DAY AND NIGHT

The day is a NegroYelling out of breath.The night is a NegroLaughing up to death.
The day is a jazz bandBlasting loud and wild.The night is a jazz bandMoaning Blues songs, child.
The day is the sunshineUndressed in the street.The night is the sunshineDressed from head to feet.
I am like a rainbowArched across the way.Yes, I am a rainbowBeing night nor day.
