Con Los Ensenadenses

I write from a dark place
where oblivion follows me
like my flickering shadow in the Ensenada sun
along the boardwalks en el malecón
con los vendedores
I think of you no more
(ya no pienso en ti)
un clavo saca otro clavo
la gente is primera
somos benditos por ser revolucionarios
y ya está más caguamera la cosa.
