Cement Girl

Luis asked me Wednesday night ¨¿Te gusta Mexico?¨ and I answered ¨¡Si!¨

He asked, then, why didn´t I live here for always. And I didn´t have an answer.

The lady at little tiny store by the church told me I was beautiful Wednesday night.

This morning she asked if were on vacation, and Stephanie told her yes, and that we graduated from school. Luvia told her we were teachers, and she said ¨¿cierto?¨. Stephanie said sometimes. I said we didn´t have anything more to do after graduation, so why not come to Mexico?

¨¿Te gusta Mexico?¨ she asked.

I nodded.
