In the poem, Clifton's references to "silent nights", "houses as straight as dead men", and "pastel lights" all reflect her belief that the wealthier uptown is a lifeless place without character. The "silent nights" represent peace and tranquility, the "houses as straight as dead men" are a reference to the way the suburban houses perfectly line the street just like tombstones are often neatly aligned in cemeteries, and the "pastel lights" are connotative of wealthy and affluent areas of the city. Clifton's point in drawing these contradictions between uptown and the inner city is to assert that the inner city is better because it does not have these things, and instead has its own lively character and charm.
