Sixty-six Ford LTD was “Dave’s Dream”  
Personal plaques flash firme                                                                                  
Bajito rolling ranfla street scene
Carnal cruises slow style
Hoppin hydraulics make bombs bounce 
To timeless oldies music mesh

Savvied since nineteen fifty-five
Cars converted for their cruising comfort
It’s inches Lowrider’s lowered from the dirt
Pavements, personalized cultural classic rides
Masterpiece Mexican American automobile’s
Chevy’s chèvere and Malibu’s mint
Official older car creators

Untitled #205 / Mexican-American Japanese Wasabi Chef

The special Mexican-American Japanese Wasabi chef
“It’s my first day on the job
pretty good for a first time, eh?”
…
 “Well, not really his first day”
Hah! He had us all fooled!
He deserves a big tip!
