Greasy Pies of Marmalade 

  unescorted by the horses of the past

     what rhymes in breakfast draws

        A fine white line

 leading to encebollada

  with corn tortillas and 

 strong margaritas on a chilly saturday in the old Mission

  people seem happy 

      to be out  

      to be seen

      and to see

   to laugh

      and to joke with friends

    on the sidewalk

   "Is that where the Phoenix was?"

   "I liked peeing there"

   "I threw up near the Mobil ATT store right there once"
