Dirt floors cement walls and wash hanging on barbed clothes-lines
little glimpse at difficult lives lived out far beneath poverty
people sit shaded and selling oranges the only way of life able
rusted out chevrolets parked in dirt yards no doors on houses unfinished lived in still
barefooted and smiling children play too close to roadways
filled in a pot hole and asking for change
young hispanic doing laundry in the river
clothes on rocks drying in sunday
westerners use machines
entire communities completely isolation dirt and deserted
money-less pockets of worn out denim straw hats sipping cheap cold perspiring beer
these people may not prevail
if life quality is dictated by bank account balances theirs stays steady at zero
tree branch fence post worn out and lives worn thin
