Had an early morning interview in Quetzaltepec, a town some 21 kilometers of San Salvador, with a soft-spoken b-boy I'd met last month at a Managua club. I see this painted on a wall near the central park, behind which about a hundred kids are practicing in a marching band:
To awaken.
How easy it is to awaken
breathe
love life
walk
go around the world
on a bicycle
and at the turn of a corner
any corner
find a surprise
meet with it
yes! it
the one from last night
the one from the dream
the one that flies and sings
liberty!
