Let loose on a warm trip
Engaging and sun-stricken
Aided my spirit with every sip
Ripened my cheeks with a belly sickened
Noticed every bead of sweat
In the brow of every person
Noticed every person I met
Gave to the wind their worse and
Thought through every move I made
Hours upon hours too late
Insisted that where I laid was
Nested for me without debate
Gave myself to the wine and
Sent my regards to time and
In between the sand that slipped into my mind
Noticed the ways in which the desert is divine
Mexico’s winds are gentle the way I should be
Easily racing through the sun’s
Xanadu
If you go to Mexico, dismiss the
Clock
Or someone else will do it for you
