Hot Pants Dilemma ... Plus Three Letters ...

________________________________________________________________________________________________



1.
Senorita N Fuego:
Why didn't you answer
my phone calls
and my email?
Just because I spilled salsa
on your silk shorts
was no reason to end
the hot heat
we created
all over 
Long Beach
 

 2.
Dr. Raft:
She's out of my life
because of a slight
spilled substance.
But
she reacted as if
I were responsible for
 
 What should I do?
 

3.
Dear Paul:
Send her
a bag of Tostitos
+
a jar of expensive salsa
+
a new pair of shorts.

    Is this a true story?

      Except for the fact that I never
      got any closer to her than to shoot this photograph,
      everything else was true to what happened
      in a very satisfying dream
