Tu y yo, Merida





Dancing chairs and

Trucks full of hair (rope,

i am later told) upstairs, 

la revista militar

de avacion, aerofotogrametria

beneath the chandelier lights

"they were just towns, 

and now, they are

actually cities"

Jesus, the Meridian teen

who dreams of dinosaurs

in New York, and sells

hammocks from heaven

(cielo is the word,

if you really must know) 

and Yuri Knorosov

staring at me with

his cat, cryptic as the 

Mayan tablets he labored over

and found here, in Merida,

amid easter egg houses,

surely they knew their scribbles

would be immortalized, forever

in a jpeg taken on Jimmy's phone

which more conscientious beings

recovered

long after the world

exploded.
