She said it without thinking.
In her world the words
were automatic
like muchas gracias
and quisas.
Her mother made
chile verdé
taught me to use
...........torn tortillas
as a spoon
and to say Sí, Señora.
Between themselves
they spoke a quiet language
sometimes without words.
...............................Glances
.......................gestures
a click of the tongue
and she was off
.........to make
café negro
para los hombres.
