The road with the factories in Monterey, California, is a poem, a mess, it has its own light, a vibrant color, it's something very ordinary yet also a dream, a nostalgia.
Something scattered and concentrated, iron, cans, rust, and logs, the road's surface full of potholes, everywhere coils of ropes, vegetable crates, factories for canned sardines, dives, taverns, and brothels, small shops, old hotels.
Someone said that this road is inhabited by 'whores, informants, gamblers, bastards' meaning, of course, that all sorts of people live there. But if he looked through a different crack, he might then have said that 'angels, saints, and holy martyrs' inhabit it - and he would have meant the same thing.
