Long Tacos Poems

those early attempts at a Mexican food

I made it through the game.

There’s a game comes about
This time every year.
It’s long been an event
That I’ve grown to fear.

wearing my new conical Chinese hat,

"...AND SHE HAS A DEGREE"


there has been much said
about my poetry, my words,
my life and eyes.
"Eddie, don't you think of
