The simultaneous lifting off of the clutch and pressing down on the throttle thrusts me onto the Harlem River Drive where I make my way through the city that never sleeps with uptown Manhattan in my rearview mirror. In this still frame of a world within a city you can see the haze of cigarette smoke that tints the skyline and obscures the flashing of NYPD strobe lights. Behind me is Harlem, and with as much representative power as this word has, the surface of Harlem's essence is only scratched by the collective strength of those six letters.
