tijuana.gringo : diaryablog : previous : next FIRST DAY of THE NEW MOON 20 FEBRUero 2004 51st DAY of WINTER Night became morning in Tijuana. Landlord kvetched at me yesterday, no it was night before last, because my gas bill was higher this month than before. I reminded Sñr. Huerta that he had been using my oven to bake extra turkeys and cakes. Bit his tongue. He. I am going to miss him. Probably yes we will move across the park to a larger apartment if Tere Sato takes advantage of February the 29th and Probably we will come back a lot to eat, however. In his little downtown restaurant EL PECADOR you will never find it is alternate dimension around a corner of the string theory not here to be found behind that blob of a different color on the land-use map at San Diego State WATCHOUT MASSIVE DATA SET FLYBYSSSSSSSSSSSSS yesss watchalo watchalo bien color on the land-use map at San Diego State across the border in the old U.S. - o v e r there, see, behind that fence, on those hills 22.7 miles north on a clear day you can still see the old "Aztecs" campanile, yes ?
it's just in that little yellow building over there beyond all the crazy traffic and justified words on hypertext font that wrap wherever the bot please and thank you ma'am yes WH	It looks more and more like Tere and I will be renting God willing and the arroyo don't flood looking for an apartment to share. Up on top of the list is the place Ramon recommended with his friend Carlos across the park on Third street has a two-bedroom there. We'd be paying our own gas and light AND water bills all that is metered and piped and tubed even cable and telephone if you' 've a mind to yes but I like coming to the café

I read therefore I exist

the out loud reading at CECUT last night

well

was splendid

actress Lilian Aragón reading a letter from Carlotta the 19th century empress of Mexico, widow of Maximilian, who was shot after the failed French intervention of the 1860s...

Ms Aragón spoke rivers, streams, hillsides, forests
of woods, of words, landscapes of language

I only wrote one word here
and then another there

from what she said

the roof
always the roof

beams over hard metal before wood
monumental ceiling                CECUT
                                  letters
letter from Carlotta
carta de Carlota

agrado nombre de madre
te escribo           engañe
                     sabes
                     verdad
lengua               corazón

Soy Carlota, esposa emperatriz      Maximiliano

they are setting up some chairs while Carlota
speaks her anguish in actress mouth

sonrisa              trataba
no                   quiero
                     engañarte

aquí quedaba las cenizas de nuestros padres
adiós arenas de mi patria
yo me pregunto
                     encerrada
                     en Europa

lagrimas del mar
lagrimas de mi patria

a pie                gran esperanza

despues de esos
                     ladrones
Napoleon tercero

                     no dejes tu patria
