the ladies run the town

For less than 100 pesos you can get a full meal

With a giant green plastic cup

Of ice cold horchata

'Comida Economica de Dona Vero'

You go thru the kitchen to the back patio

The menu is an old chalk board

Everything is cooked

Bistec rice bean tortillas 

She serves it less than dos minutos 

She sits at another table with her old mother

And young daughter

Where are the men?

No one knows

Quien sabe?

Wali's been there but she won't let him bring the dog

Into the back patio

He sits at a table out front

On the sidewalk
