        Everything is run down.
        Kids are out
                shining shoes and selling cigarettes.
        The hospital may not have
        enough medicine.

        Water treatment plants lack upkeep, so
        children are feverish with typhoid.

        A trip by water taxi and life seems
        not to have changed in 4000 years.
