 One Flower Under A L.A. Freeway

geisha
San Pedro Street, Los Angeles, California


Downtown on San Pedro Street, Los Angeles there is a crowded park for the homeless

Hundreds of people, bodies facing bodies
Sitting,and standing in their circus of tents and wheelchairs
Gesturing and happily laughing!

Step right up to L.A.'s greatest street show on earth,where you do not have to pay rent

Know why you will never be looking back because you can never go home
Only go back to another challenge like they are facing everyday
Begging the universe that you will not be standing there with them.
