I sat in a really old restaurant eating a tortilla yesterday, and this is what I wrote:
So, cold tortillas
are better, lighter bar food
than American's.
Layered egg, golden
warm, soft, onioned patatas.
Sum of parts? Lighter.
Brits are not better
At being English Speaking
In Spain. [Take that, snobs!]*
* alternate ending: [AMERICA!]
Haphazard streets, paved
with care, crevices cobbled
attain intention.
Portugese sunshine
reflected in tile colors
kissed my face tender.
Mallard topped canes, men
made gentler by wives, pipes, time -- smile
from eyes to cuff-links.
