Snow

by La Cuba - Aquarius

The man is coming down the street
with his cart
i can hear the bell ringing
and i know
he has the best ice cream

all flavors
all kinds
from mother Mexico
but i say different
because my tongue is wild
Meh-he-co
it rolls off my tongue
and the coconut ice cream
is so creamy and sweet

and no
i have never seen the snow
and i have never been far from the ocean
where cali is my home

but in my little glass snow globe
snow falls
in the flavor of creamy coconut, and lime, and cherry, and orange
along with the sweetness of a jalisco soda
and the sound of the ice cream cart
and he walks past my house
once again
the snow starts to fall
and so sweet it is

Reason for writing:

    i'm sure snow is great, i just don't have a desire for the real snow.
