Drainage

The neon light reads "Aikido", in the thirty-ninth Street Rodeo
Salmon sweatshop, De Niro posters up on the wall
The corner store sells a mango, under the flicking of a streetlamp
The Spanish fly does the tango, measured up in volts and amps
No MSG on this food cart, the downtown streets are paved with cancer
Paved with cancer

Arugula and a spreadsheet formula
In a high-class double-decker apartment high rise
Crushing the dreams of a homeless cigar
Yeah, I'm a poet but I never made it far

Arugula
