And then, this Irish lad walked in
THE VISITOR
This guy was at the party last night. No not the one for the paintings I brought of Gato and Jose Alfredo and Vicente at the Cultural Center. No this was a down home Mexican birthday party for my brother in law´s wife´s brother. They had the thing in the ¨Bosque¨. A forest out side Jiquilpan. Not redwoods and pine trees,but ferns and flowers. Very soft pastel colors. A serene little place.
Anyway the picnic area is crowded with all kinds. Little kids,big kids,adults,and los viejitos. Frank,I´m tellin´ya,the best carnitas I ever ate. Pal,I was shakin´the meat off the bone. And of course the tequila and beer was goin´down hot and heavy. Dancing,dancing,and more dancing. This family had 12 sisters in it,well that´s for another post.
I want to get back to our friend in the picture. I about fell over. He came wandering in. Funny,no one seemed to notice him. Only thing different was the shirt. This time he was wearing a shirt that said Ï´m Black and I´m Proud.¨¨I couldn´t take my eyes off of him.
I had to get closer. Yeah,it was him .The guy in the picture. Now don´t tell me I drank too much tequila,or I fell on my head,or I need glasses. IT WAS THE GUY.
He sees me lookin´. He then says,¨What´s ¨this¨?
I remembered what Frank said,Ït´s not important. Go get some food.¨
The guy loads up his plate,sits in the corner by himself,and munches down his food. Still no one sees this guy. At least it appears that way.
But then it hit me. I know who this guy is. Forget the shirt. It´s to throw you off. It´s a ruse. I mean how does this guy get to a little town in Mexico 3000 miles away?.
Take a good look. That image. Open your mind. I think you got it now.
I figure our friend here drops in to things like this party unannounced. He visits and observes people when their guards are down. A bum off the street. Who´d suspect?
Well I remembered Franks answer. Not important. Eat with us. You see Frank got a little test that day. Frank probably was únawre. But you see Frank passed the test.
I figure when the day comes Frank will get the OK. He´ll get his pass. Frank taught me something that day. The greatest teacher saw Frank be a teacher that afternoon. I was glad I learned something. I gave the right answer. I learned it from Frank.
When the day comes I hope I get a pass like Frank will someday. You see, I want to stay in touch with the guy for a long time.
I thought I heard something way back Angulo trying to get a fight in Texas? Maybe I'm thinking of something else too.
