THE MEXICAN SOMBRERO


Reading in a chapel
At la Jolla California
Is not that bad

This is a place
Where no one
Knows your name

The stain glass
In the background
Depicts God
With long hair
And beard

His arms Stretched
Towards the people
Under Him

Cholos & Housewives
Children and adultery

Under his
Right hand
There’s a sailor
Under his
Left hand
A marine

At his feet
There’s another type
Of fighter

One that also
Wears an uniform
He covers
His head with
A Mexican Sombrero

A Lutheran chapel
Not bad
Even the Germans
Had interesting experiments
With religion

Were they trying
To fish
For a new liturgy?

One with Mexican
Poetic symbols?
