Calendars: All : October : November : December : January 2001 : February

street vendors pass
	under sweet burdens
a dolar diez pesos la paquete the beggar on this corner
	leans close to warn you
be careful, señor, hay
	ladrones aquí
here there be thieves, it might be said in corners
	of maps
tierra incognita of the
	soul
es decir, carácter
	or
personality
unknown
	in crowded blocks
where evening shuffles past
	between work and home
office, shop, cantina, hotel home home unseen land beyond police van
	spotlights
promised paradise apart from
	bar door hustlers
pulling -- jalando
	on their sidewalk clients
come'on in take a look gotta lota pretty naked ladies
	dancing just
for
	you
but no, you must insist on measuring
	the land
with paper and pen from a waiting bench beside the pay phone at taxi site
	where one, then a second
places their calls
	to yet another third
and equally unknown world .

I won't be writing here for a few weeks. Need to finish my filmscript for the screenplay contest. See you in February, I think. Bye... and wish me luck!
