I just ordered this set of Cyndi Lauper buttons!

Once, when they had made love in the middle of the night and
it was very sweet, they decided they were hungry, so they got up,
got dressed, and drove downtown to an all-night donut shop.
Chicano kids lounged outside...

"When I was little, mi ama bought our groceries at Fiesta. She bought our shoes and clothes there tambien. I have always wanted to write a standup comedy routine in the voice of a Mexican Jeff Foxworthy, "If your mother ever bought your tennis shoes from the same aisle she got the tortillas, you may be mojado."

I've always wondered about this Hass passage (Hass being a poet I admire very much).
Since you posted it, I'll respond. I don't think it's Hass at his best, which is when his specificity with language is rich with detail and nuance. My thoughts anyway.
and you havent published a book in 14 years. Calling Guiness...
Eduardo,
Looking forward to seeing you and meeting Kevin.
I love this poem so f'in much. (Your poem.) Thank you!
