Tijuana Gringo
8 Octubre 2000.
Tonight Maria will take me out again. We go to eat gourmet Puebla style mole at Pueblo Amigo hotel. They have flown in a chef from Puebla and the food... ah, the mole... scrumptious!!!!! How can I ever equal this on her birthday, next week? I'll have to ask Agustin where to take her. Or maybe Daniel can ask Carlos. But we haven't seen much of each other recently. Even when I look in the mirror I only see myself.
I bring a printed draft of my manuscript. "I still have so much more revision to do," I say. It's true. Over the next five days I'll rewrite almost 60% of the verse, but already I have it laid out in a progression of poems that moves from invocation to the ancient border through migration and casino to the present day and a last criticism of San Diego, the sphynx.
It's a unified, yet diverse manuscript. I think I have a very good chance of winning, or at least, maybe getting honorable mention.
