"...I was sittin' on the right side of the train, lookin' out the window...I realized I could see the Zona Norte from there. The two tall familiar hotel buildings, hot pink and bright yellow were clearly visible from the Beyer Boulevard trolley stop...Amazing! How close the Zona really is from the USA border. I kept my eyes on the two colorful buildings, staring wistfully, as the bright red trolley..." After a wonderful afternoon spent intertwining our bodies, renewing old memories, and celebrating her return from down south, we were hungry. "Soy un hombre con hambre." (I am a man with hunger). She laughed at my "pequena" (small) attempt at beginner's Spanish humor with that bright, sparkling laughter I love to hear. "Tiempo" (Time) with her is such a pleasant, amusing experience. It's become the highlight of my week. We've both settled into a comfortable agreement of "no problemas" (no problems), "no celosa" (no jealousy), and "mejor para ambos" (better for both). And our getting together this way in the afternoon was "mejor para ambos". Since she works nights and sleeps mornings, late afternoons are free for "una cita para una a fiesta" (a date for a party). I had brought in "la bolsa de la fiesta grande" (the big party bag) for the occasion. She flashed that wonderful smile ("sonrisa") and yelped "oh! oh!" as I pulled out the cold beers and deli delights from Ralph's. Her favorite seafood salad was there along with a variety of different and new (to her) beers. She went into hostess mode and arranged the spread in front of the window while I put a tape of her favorite "musica romantica" (romantic music) in the portable tape player. I stared wistfully at her sitting before the "comida para una fiesta" (party food) and could hear the silent words inside my head, "Life is good". Suddenly she excitedly raised her voice and turned to me, "mira! mira!" (look! look!). I came to the window and followed her pointing finger as we simultaneously said Regards, |
