Snippets of Sunnyside

8.31.2012

the stillness of a sunday morning
the smells of congolese cooking
the prostitutes
the overcrowding
the colours of the women's dresses
the hairdressing shops
the proud street vendors
the names of the apartment blocks
the illegal immigrants
the fire escape stairs
the floral curtains
the nigerian drug lords
the kirkness bricks
the dirt and the dust
the sense of belonging
here
