Freeways

"'He's
heading for the Century.' The Century Freeway was empty,
and we flew east over Inglewood
in a matter of minutes." (88)

“One
day, Buzzworm got taken for a ride on the freeway.
Got to pass over the Harbor Freeway, speed over the
hood like the freeway was a giant bridge.” (33)

"Manzanar concentrated on a noise that sounded like a mix of
an elephant and the wail of a whale, concentrating until it moaned
through the downtown canyons, shuddered past the on-ramps
and echoed up and down the one-ten." (119)

“Pepe didn’t pay no coyote. Just
crossed the Rio Tijuana with a
bunch of others. Got caught twice by la
migra and sent
back. Third time he made it.
Crossed I-5 dead of night.
You don’t understand traffic till you dodge cars going
seventy miles an hour across ten lanes.” (76)
