Caliente

One day after Cinco de Mayo -
Seis de Mayo? Not exactly. We
come home yesterday to the
neighbor blasting
"Margaritaville" in his back
yard. The cashier at the
grocery store wistfully
mistakes my No Fear Energy
Drink for a Tall Boy. Alcohol
is in the air - better not
light any matches... The
grasses may have greened up
on the bajadas and mesatops,
but all hangs on here by the
thinnest-of-threads-getting-
thinner. The silkworms are
liars. Yet we go on - soaking
in the present, living always
with the knowledge of fire.
