Mexico...where
we can dance to Mariachi
music
that rings like hammered tin and
voices
singing in Spanish barber-shop harmony.
The
heat and dust of Arizona are not left there
but
the silver moon's soft light over the
sandy
beach is a more romantic setting.
Who can
resist El Camino del Diablo,
the
Devil's Highway, with warnings of
wild
animals, drug smugglers, and unexploded ordnances?
There
is a road that is more like a narrow trail
through
the desert, like a wolf chasing its
elusive
prey, like driving down a bobsled run of soft sand.
Blushing
at overt sexuality, a lexicon of
double
entendres, and our masks of
x-rated
desires, we laugh at banal words like coger.
We
christen each of the cities we enter
with
lips locked in a public display
of
affection for each other and for Mexico.
