Gringo : Poems


Diario @ Playas de Tijuana

cocoanuts and seafood shops stand terraces
above the sea

the beach continues its downward
slide into

ocean water where someone's life got
saved today

and I taught my girlfriend to recognize
rip tides

on the paved walk, looking out over waves
of Mexico

frontier.

corn ears and tostadas
sell from walking carts
that roll along that shore

someone applauded when we kissed -
we did not see any donkeys there

only dolphins and children playing
castles of sand.
