Bizarre Bazaar By: Noah Eaton 6/11/02 Strolling down Old Town Avenue on a hot Monday afternoon Shielded by the palms, decorating the Mexican palisades down to the lagoon Sipping down on strawberry-banana margaritas, listening to Latin pop playing on the streets It's all between the sun and me... Walked into Miranda's Courtyard at 2 P.M before savoring Puerto Nuevo lobster in a Baja grill Sauntering San Diego Avenue with a sarape around my shoulders and ivory lungs filled Among shaddock-lined sidewalks I find myself soaking up the sun Mango tango two-step under the sun... I entered the Bazaar del Mundo, where it's always a fiesta Danced in the courtyard with sandels on as the mariachi band played some samba Saw angels on the veranda Swaying in tantra-sutra In the midst of impressional malaria Gypsies hiding ebony crowns under their sombreros Gentleman instructing dance partners like horses and vaqueros I stepped onto the patio of the Casa de Pico Where all you've got is put on the show We spotted chulacanas at discount stores, Huichol Indian art on the walls Paper art and Kachina dolls along the market halls And the Catholic Church on the corner painted like some midsummer nights dream Children on the streets say "Take off your shoes and wash your feet, Like the Good Mary Magdalene speaks!" So I'm out here in the Baja heat Topping off a fine day with a scoop of Dulce de Leche ice cream... "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..."

Noah, loved the line that said "it's all between the sun and me" Waht a picture you paint. No "wish you were here" postcards for you, just send them this poem Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

Noah, you have nailed Old Town. I remember Casa de Pico, I used to get guacamole enchiladas and Strawbery Margaritas. Sigh. Beautiful poem, too. Sandra |
