In our city,

faces stay familiar


like the face of a clock.


The handicapped race


wheel chaired,


up a paved park road


and the public assumes


gun fire.


In our city, no one is from there


but all our roots grow here.


Sex is a family sport,


with 6 degrees of separation.


We make music that vibrates off the contradictions,


an assimilation of the images the neighborhoods create.


Bowlegged athlete I am,


to pine to leave


or try to stay,


as this city has taught us,


it's all the same.
