7 B & B Haikus I black and brown children jamming down on beat music break dancing away II wheeling down the street what she perceives as ghetto to him is Eden III brown cuz walking by black cuz stands outside his crib both stop to soul-shake IV chicanos crib here next door the cribbers are black this is black-brown turf V cold winters sets in this barrio becomes gelid gas bills must be paid VI cannabis smokers walking high on loco weed minding their business VII poverty stricken the poor will always be here this barrio also

Nicely written. But hopefully you don't think that all brown and black people are swallowed by poverty?
