Gallo pinto [124] (6 long lines)
Gallo pinto

Beyond the fear there was the gallo pinto1
and down the hill a house for sale where once he'd dwelt
and walking futher back in time he found a young boy quivering

but did not linger in the fog and fragrant treacheries
and turned around to trudge back up the trail he'd laid,
giving thanks for rice and beans still steaming.
