Read the following stanza from "Freeway 280" by Lorna Dee Cervantes. Describe the environment from which the speaker is trying to escape, both physically and in the way that it affects her. Then explain what you think the speaker is trying to achieve.

without the smell of tomatoes burning
on swing shift in the greasy summer air.
