< summer love in spanish >

on the beach
in mexico
the heat of the sun is too much
and i lie in the shade
of an old soft drink stand

it's not a popular beach
so close to the power plant
but close
to my dad's office

i'm here
visiting him
my terrible spanish
getting a little better
walking the streets
just looking
reading the signs
buying pan dulce
it's so cheap
and every bun of this sweet bread
is beautiful

so every morning i go and buy a bag of it
and eat it the rest of the day
carrying it through the streets
looking at the signs
trying to read them with my dictionary
writing letters to my mom
never mentioning you
