Happy Food and Football Day

Feed the dog.

Ñoquis!

And National Mate Day!

So much equity in nature,
So much spiritual value.

I need to type into my computer the poems I wrote on paper.

But, today we need to drive 400 kilometers to pick up our vehicle

You mean, the beautiful white SUV they smashed up months ago?

All the people who shit on your living-room rugs
Are now asking for pardons.

Because their shit
Is filling their underpants.

It is chilly today. Let’s have chili en route.

The driver inhales sandwiches bought at a gas station.
I thought you said you wanted a picnic.

At a table outside of a restaurant,
He throws half of his steak to a mangy dog sniffing the air.

They walk holding hands on the beach,
While sipping mate and eating torta fritas.

She returns home from an unmasked asado
At a neighbor’s chacra.

The Students win by one goal.
