El Catrin

Walking down the street goes the dapper guy
lottery card image shouted out
in the game, striped suit, his cane
and that broken top hat they shout
at Don Ferruco
Through the Palace and Cathedral he heads
toward the Central Alameda
Blind date, a carnation in the lapel
sitting in front of a statue
pornographic, mon chéri
how about you, do you speak French?
And it's been so long since that happened
And then the solution
the coffee at Café Tacuba
is better.
