Cinco de Mayo

Cinco de Mayo

I think that there won't be
many skeletons dancing in the street today.
The mask of fear has replaced them.
Calderon has put a ban on the holiday's,
In Mexico,
The may pole has gone limp.
Catholic Mass has ended,
due to the gravity of the situation.
Physicists say there is a black hole in the center of the Milky Way,
and the gravity there must be very intense.
But, God must have a plan,
the doors to the cathedrals remain shut,
while they discuss it in private.

This winter, one of the cats killed a wild Finch.
I put the carcass next to a lavender,
holding it by its tail feathers.
I told them,"If you are going to kill birds
you should at least eat them."
I wondered,
if Native Americans had cats,
would they have more small feathers in their Regalia.
I found its skull today;
a delicate mossy parchment,
thin and light as a breeze.
The Vice President on America says,
that it is dangerous to fly in confined spaces.
I think I should tell the birds.
