I remember
in early 2000
in Washington Heights,
I was in an Indian Pow Wow festival
with friends.
I heard beautiful sounds
from the beat of the drums,
various colored textiles and beads.
There was art and crafts everywhere .
I sat on the green grass covered land
where the original natives
the Lenape ,aka Delaware people lived
before European settlers came.
I remember the sunshine and the cool wind.
I remember the the picnic with my friends.
Before the sun set,
I passed by an old bookstore.
Just in time before it closed ,
I found a small old hardbound
Alice in Wonderland book.
This one i will keep in my bookshelf
for my little kid to read.
There are may street festivals we encounter
which ones do you remember?
