At the Taco Stand
I often think of my past and the best tacos
I'd share with Kathy on Victory Drive;
when the taco stand closed long ago,
the Thursday special was a buck for five.
Back in 1980 at Buena Vista taco stand,
over from the Zodiac and Mickey's, that music row
at the little table there I'd hold her hand
eating a taco after the rock show.
The red and green sauce there were made from scratch,
hard to decide on which, both mighty fine
though we did decide the green sauce had no match
at the taco stand, her eyes staring into mine.
Nostalgia, alone with chilling wind
and visions of my Lady Katherine.
