In and around the little springs
that dribble down the exposed rock faces
of raised highway gradecuts life flourishes
On Isaac and Nate's front steps
In the watery organ sample of a homegrown beat
In neighborhoods not target markets
Wherever new peices go up in the cuts
On the 1 California where no one speaks english
En la taqueria cerca de la calle Balmy
Donde viven las luchas de salvadorenos y chilenos
Abajo de original McCarthy's
Where old men sometimes dance if they are drunk enough
In places you never see on T.V.
On streets you never need to take
Life flourishes
In the cuts
A.P. Lowry
