By chance,
only a telephone call away from
canceling the trip,
Elizabeth called, from the village,
requesting me to come, despite my fear
of intruding.
By chance
we meet in a most unlikely place.
Me a pale Yankee, with no language
skills,
in unfamiliar surroundings.
You a beautiful Latina, with social
graces,
at home in the largest city in Mexico.
Stopped your busy world to show me
another way of life.
Mexico, three cultures, layered and
combined
Producing
happy people, where living and enjoying
life every day is paramount
By chance
meeting a juke box queen, living deep
in Mexico City,
has changed my life in a direction that
pulls me south,
with greater understanding.
