Tepic to Tijuana

Endless humid journey ballooning feet, numbed coccyx visions retina racing freely past—tensing North—Tepic to Tijuana Mexican rock stars foot tapping sotto rehearsing in the dark a blue and green parakeet in a small cage next to Cantinflas reading sado-masochistic comic books Tired journey soiled parents adoring father standing all the way to Mexicali midnight paranoia Federales searching our luggage a tangle of red hair in this sea of dark—and we speak no spanish Guilty ! San Blas, Mexico, 1974
