As I was sitting at my desk studying for finals,
I heard in the distance the sound of a Clown's Horn?
"honk-honk" the sound grew louder and closer "honk-honk"
Fairly certain the Circus had not come to my Apt. complex,
Bested by my curiosity as it continually increased
My need to discover the horn's origin became the priority over my studies.
My focus shifted from the page in front of me holding all the answers,
To the outside world were the answers where yet to be discovered...
Breaking free of my "Study Shackles"
A new goal to precedence over all obstacles,
Mind now on a single track,
The spirit of pioneer steers my intentions,
Set forth from my dwelling, into that vast universe of possibility's
That simpletons refer to as the parking lot.
Honk-Honk the sound hit my ears like a search beacon would register on radar,
How far past my car or 100 cars who cares
What was this I continued to ponder in the recesses of mind that was playing like it was recess
Placing a collect call to myself I called my other senses to man their positions.
Sight-CHECK! but nothing was seen,
Touch-CHECK! but my feet and the ground was the only contact being made.
Smell-CHECK! But nothing, wait hold for confirmation....
Could it be... ELOTE!?!  
Corn on the cob... on the stick!!
Mexican style elote!!
I had not enjoyed, "G-lote or Getto Elote" since San Jose
Since the last time I spent time with cousin Chip
Then just as I turned the corner the beacon sounded once more
"Honk-Honk" ELOTE....! and it was only $1.50 Perfect!
Proceeded to purchase two, one for me and one for you,
My cousin my brother...
Devouring mine with you in mind,
Took a single breath took stock of what was left,
Thought, "If I wait for Chip to come eat his it will get cold before he arrives, and who wants to eat cold elote?
Not my Cousin Chip, He's a Gracia
We are just better then that.
So I did what I believe you would have done for me if you where to find yourself in the same predicament,
I ate it nice and slow.
Thinking about how grateful I am to call you my family, my cousin, my friend, my brother,
I made sure that I enjoyed every bite,
In that for a moment no matter how brief it actually was we where together again,
In my minds eye laughing, joking, enjoying elote together....
I love you and I miss you cousin,
You are always in my prayers and in my heart.
If only Australia were not so far away...

Some days I wake up and all my thoughts are in poetry,
Some days I wake up and all my thoughts are in front of me,
Some days I wake up and all my thoughts are in due time,
Some days I wake up and all my thoughts are in side of me,
Some days I wake up and all my thoughts are in turmoil,
Some days I wake up and all my thoughts are in perfect order,
Some days I wake up and all my thoughts are in a place unknown
Some days I wake up and all my thoughts are in someone else,
Some days I wake up and all my thoughts are in mouth ready to become words,
Ready for me to set them free, and not look back,
Those are the days the atmosphere falls heavy on the hearts of all those
Un-listening fools who hear just fine,
The moment when the same thoughts tried to gain access to their outlet,
Only to get told "not now" or "maybe later"
That's not me, well not any more, now I have an outlet, with a profile and everything....
Now my observed words can swagger out, doubtless and strong, become mature sentences who share their purpose, with other purposes.

BE BLESSED

Just having fun with my profile entry, but ran out of space.
