 the movement

sr

Stirs Senor
Escuchame 
    up the cobblestone (river rocks) hill
in low gear
   passing the Gaz truck
passing the Agua truck
  passing Don Pedro's Torta shop (no sign or he'd have to pay municipal fees)
   around the corner the girl sisters sit on the sidewalk and make tacos seventy five cents apiece
  Dad lives in a Gringo Gulch villa 
made by Architect Freddie Romero in the sixties
   A couple blocks away Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton have houses across the narrow street from each other. They built a replica Bridge of Sighs between them. 
Dad dated Joanie Blake who was John Huston's secretary. 
Her apartment is done with pink marble columns and framed photos of move stars. 
  Senor Escuchame doesn't care. He has to repair a water heater at Donna Cabrillo's.
