    <strong>Theme flish B</strong>

    The instructor said,

    Go home and write

    a page tonight.

    Ahat page e out of you--

    Then, it will be true.

    I wonder if its that simple?

    I am twenty-two, colored, born in Winston-Salem.

    I went to school there, then Durham, then here

    to this college on the hill above Harlem.

    I am the only colored student in my class.

    The steps from the hill lead down into Harlem<var>９9lｉb?</var>,

    through a park, then I cross St. Nicholas,

    Eighth Avenue, Seventh, and I e <cite></cite>to the Y,

    the Harlem Branch Y, where I take the elevator

    up to my room, sit down, and write this page:

    Its not easy to know what is true for you or me

    at twenty-two, my age. But I guess Im what

    I feel and see and hear, Harlem, I hear you:

    hear you, hear me--we two--you, me, talk on this page.

    (I hear New York, too.) Me--who?

    Well, I like to eat, sleep, drink, and be in love.

    I like to work, read, learn, and uand life.

    I like a pipe for a Christmas present,

    or records--Bessie, bop, or Bach.

    I guess being colored doesnt make me not like

    the same things other folks like who are other races.

    So will my page be colored that I write?

    Bei></a> will not be white.

    But it will be

    a part of you, instructor.

    You are white--

    yet a part of me, as I am a part of you.

    Thats Ameri.

    Sometimes perhaps you dont want to be a part <bdi>99ｌib?</bdi>of me.

    Nor do I often want to be a part of you.<bdo></bdo>

    But we are, thats true!

    As I learn from you,

    I guess you learn from me--

    although youre older--and white--

    and somewhat more free.

    This is my page flish B.
