This Is Not ... This Is ... [TIN/TI #46]

THIS IS NOT  
A mint portrait
of Ricardo Montalban


THIS IS 
A mint portrait
of Ricardo Montalban




The first photograph,
is not Ricardo Montalban.

It is a copy
of a small photograph
that spent ten years
taped to a teacher's desk
in South-Central Los Angeles.

The teacher had to remove
 a companion photograph
  of his mother because
     too many boys 
     approached the teacher's desk
      distracted by her beauty.

Most of the girls
who looked at the image
of the teacher's father said
You look just like him,
Mr. Oliverio

How wrong they were
but how welcome
their words
