In this poem, Lorna Dee Cervantes describes the reality of surviving in an unhospitable environment. The poet is a Mexican American woman who grew up in a neighborhood in San Jose. The neighbourhood has now been destroyed in order to build a highway, and the author compares the plants that grow under the highway to the resilience of people like her, who were able to flourish despite being planted in a difficult environment. The author celebrates her cultural background in the poem by combining English and Spanish.
