		<description><![CDATA[
From the electric belly
Of Babylon
I am spewed.

The cold, crisp air
Greets my face
And with every stair
Fog-filtered sunlight
Embraces my body.

Chicano beats
Reverberate off murals
That weave
All our stories
Into One.

Inhale the scent
Of sweat and fruit
Of piss and concrete
Of carne asada
And hair gel,
Breathe out and take
Two more steps &#8211;

This is street-level
Spiritual Awakening.

From the electric belly
Of Babylon
I am reborn.
