    later in the afternoon I am in the library reading Lord of the Rings in Spanish.

    .............

    luego se cierre la biblioteca so I go
    outside
              wander through the park
    across the slight spreads of grass
    around the islands of flowers

    between the old palmtrees with           their bases painted white
    in Mexico they paint all the tree bottoms white

    the fuscias are gone
    the hybiscus trees tremble in the cool winter breeze of California

    Baja California frontier

    the green concrete toadstool sits all alone
    no children play around it on the grass

    it's just a little too cold

    the green concrete toadstool sits all alone

    where...? have I heard that
              before?

    ah, yes... the letter written to my
              great-grandmother

    I have no one to do the milking you know
    the little leaky can sits all alone

    130 years later and 2500 miles away a single airplane
    howls across the sky
