THIS IS
A mint portrait
of Ricardo Montalban
A mint portrait
of Ricardo Montalban
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
How wrong they were
but how welcome
their words
