Taco Wagon

Just back from the corner store

On the way
A posse of Mexicans
With blue "earthwork" shirts
Had surrounded a taco wagon

Sir?
Three fajitas
Corn or flour?
Corn
And a grilled jalapeno!
Four fifty
Here, keep the change

Each fajita had two thin corn tortillas
I put on the green sauce

One hundred plus degrees
Sweat dripping
Cicadas
Hiding up in the shade of the trees

To the corner store!
Beer!  Light beer!

Grilled Jalapeno
Green sauce
Fajitas!
Viva Mexico!

It's funny that I have to blog so much... This isn't social networking. This is "biographical logging". There's something in me that makes me want to write and take pictures of what I do and am thinking. There has to be some sorta mental disorder there.
