MEXICO #1:

Look at you,
Don’t you look great,
Shaking the juice,
Facing the sun,
Talking to no one,

Are you ready for the sky?
Have you made your amends?
Sent messages back home?
Just in case,

No weapons beyond this point,
I got everything I need,
Don’t go walking,
They got robbers,

Down the dirt track behind the hotel last night,
Low concrete shelters,
Parked cars,
Lights off,
Ready,
A figure barely visible in shadow,
Watched us drive past slow,
