the hippies called the puerto ricans spics the puerto ricans called the hippies cabrones not much love there but mostly they got along sharing the dirt and hopeless avenues i knew a girl with long legs and longer hair who stood barefoot on the corner of 110th Street and Lexington Avenue selling flowers she only had one gift to give and she gave it and in the rain her petals washed down the gutters and magically made the streets clean again    ~mce
