World Peace Through Tex-Mex—
the brightly colored menu boasts;
though things are often more complex.
The broken mirror mural reflects
the way speech can dissolve like ghosts,
whispering, world peace through Tex-Mex.
David hates bar lime, and when he objects,
I remind him this place is three stars at most—
though things are often more complex.
Four dollar Mexican martinis yield effects
that linger and bubble like foam on seacoasts—
World peace through Tex-Mex.
Our vagrant waiter brings our checks,
as the family with the newborn toasts.
Though things are often more complex,
tonight, it’s a simple matter of prospects—
And for a minute I believe, almost,
in the possibility of world peace through Tex-Mex,
though things are often more complex.
