"El Grito de Dolores A bus passes.THe bus jumped the curb, cornering. The bus slammed through the potholes.With my rearview mirror hung with saints. With my radio blaring Guadalajara. As if it were always night and I drunk banging through the unlit streets past the bars with their half-doors past the tequila factory past Tlaquepaque rattling fast in the wrong lane. You Martin with your macho fists. You with your wet lips. Get off the road. Lola Haskins is a graduate of Stanford University and teaches computer science at the University of Florida. She lives on a farm outside Gainesville. She is the author of six collections of poetry, and is the recipient of the Iowa Poetry Prize, the Edwin Ford Piper Poetry Award, and an NEA fellowship.
