Meeting Tito

meeting tito is surely an interesting event
he finds anyone interesting to include
yours truly

today he wants you, if you meet him,
at nine
when the girls are there already in the plaza
practicing the dance
of the coming celebration

(breathe, gasp)
he wants you to join the in the parade
with your bare feet
as part of the works of
the sisters of mercy

as i told you i like him but i commented though
what merciless sisters you have
and for what reason do you intend to punish others
for your beliefs?

i think, with the way he sways his hips,
i think, he is gay, but i keep my mouth shut
for as my wife says
it is always none of our business
and they have the right to be.

i think, i must agree,
the world is a circle and it is not narrow
the rivers keep flowing
and the sea has always been the most kind receptacle
