La Cucaracha by Lalo Alcaraz for February 16, 2018

Americans dream of sending their kids to school without them being shot.

I dream of having a president who isn’t a total jerk.

Americans dream of gypsies, I have found

Gypsy knives and gypsy thighs That pound and pound and pound and pound

And African appendages that almost reach the ground

And little boys playing baseball in the rain

“Sigmund Freud’s Impersonation of Albert Einstein in America,” Randy Newman

mmmmmm… tacos!

And a taco truck on every corner!
