i met jesus today.
he didn’t care what
it said on his sweatshirt
the brand. the design.
it was in english.
we looked each other
in the eyes after a sweaty
game of soccer on the
dirt field with a size 4 ball.
and called each other
mentirosa for adding points
to our scores that weren’t
really made. beaded black eyes.
didn’t need anything i was
used to. didn’t want anything that
wasn’t there. ensenada breeze.
mi maestro en español.
i, his teacher of english.
jesus and i bonded for
at least 4 hours. as
the ten-year-old
gave a ‘don’t go’
look but with a
confident
expectation
that
i
would beg to
come back.
