question

This question refers to the following information.
New York! I say New York, let black blood flow into your blood.
Let it wash the rust from your steel joints, like an oil of life
Let it give your bridges the curve of hips and supple vines…
See your rivers stirring with musk alligators
And sea cows with mirage eyes…
Just open your eyes to the April rainbow
And your eyes, especially your ears, to God
Who in one burst of saxophone laughter
Created heaven and earth in six days,
And on the seventh slept a deep Negro sleep.
Senegalese poet Léopold Sédar Senghor, "To New York," 1956
Which of the following best explains the phenomenon of an African poet writing so lyrically about New York?
