The city meets itself here; Where the air holds every scent Where mothers find hope in their vegetables, And everything is known to be cheaper– ‘A hub of solutions for poor people’ God does not exist here, Only sweat Here, Many layers of survival Meet in their silences Many lives are stitched together You meet the hustler, the dreamer, and the forgotten And those that wander In the spell of their lives. 63
