Filthy
Grit
Grime
Congestion
Layers of dirt collecting on my skin
Commerce
Capitalism
This was not a gift
Slums on the beach
Slums under bridges
Slums across from wealth
Horns honking
Vehicles converging on the same point from five difference directions
No traffic lights
Institutional yielding?
Posters for SEX problems
Painted detailed portraits on the street of political figures
More dirt
More garbage
More horn honking
NO GARBAGE CANS
Cities and materialism
But nowhere to put all that stuff
Make and consume
Make and consume
Like the Dr. Seuss book
“Unless someone like you you cares a whole awful lot
It’s not going to get better
It’s not”
