tamales

coffee, cigarettes and tamales.
tanaga versions all a-swirl.
phones, paper, pen awaits.

getting in the mood,
my phone rings
and work intrudes.

poetry, oh poetry,
i have abandoned you.
reading is all i wish to do.

getting in the mood,
phone rings
and work intrudes!

why, oh why,
did i again make lines
in a language i know not

getting in the mood,
a colleague comes
and work intrudes!

go back, go back
relearn, refriend the forms
learn more words too!
