is this thing that we say
in this Mar Vista
restaurant that i open
and close
open
and close
open
every night
it means, to us
let’s go home
lucio
is the dishwasher
in this place
he’s jewish, speaks spanish
wears a star necklass:
he’s from Nicaragua, or he might be
Salvie
maybe
and
we will ride, rickety, bunk
huffy bicycles for weeks, months
years, over impossible mountains
over volcano clouds
drafting
off each other’s dreams
we will cross the equator
like George and Lenny
or Bonnie and Clyde
Che and Alberto
taking ServSafe tests
online
time is all we have
and we will make it
to the beach.
