Off to Tijuana! Tijuana! Past San Francisco,
L.A, and through San Diego--; then across
the boarder we walked, parked the
car on the American side. Walked down the
sunny street, bars, strangers, food carts
and dollar, dollar,-- dollar signs! Peso
thin, dirty signs. Music blaring every-
where; marijuana breath, here and there--
and dollar, dollar--peso signs!
Slums, and bums and thieves, eyes staring
from across the street. Drunkenness along
the walk, me and my brother Mike, talk.
Hands pointing, whores murmuring:
we're in a Mexican labyrinth, "yaw, yaw!"
I sigh...walking behind some buildings,
a dark-eyed beauty says, "Over there!" she
says it aloud, even points, there are men
watching, heavy brutes, with hard
boots, under a new hip sun. They will come,
later on, come for the dollars, Pesos.
