Crunching welfare checks and housing projects,
We drink yerba matι brewed with a smidgen milk
As we map reds,
... .
yellows,

browns
Across stolen lands.

MG,
The short story is that I was thinking about the disparities between the people who collect the [U.S.] census data, the people who map the data, and the people who "are" the data. There's also more than a pinch of cynicism thrown into the mix.
As always, thank you for reading and taking the time to comment.
