The HarlemDream

Photos by Jonathan De Camps. Words by Elena Bollette

 

Having so many lovers
(means none)
doing too many shit
(means none)
traveling so many times
(means none)
enjoying my money
(means none)

So what’s happening with the Harlem dream?
I would be feeling some revolt
like shit shit shit
hate to be a woman
hate the changes
hate the guns
love the guns
