Coming Attraction

Hey, good title for a poem, but that’s not

what this one’s about….it’s about a three

day adventure into Mexico City to get my

passport renewed, which might not seem

that interesting, but, I bet it will be.

Coming into Mexico the last time, `i decided

to stay in a hotel because it was so late…the

hotels have kiosks in the terminal, and the one

I chose, the Geneve, had nice furniture, so, I

sprung for it. This was a serendipitous move,

because `i discovered later, when, I knew I 

would have to stay at a hotel for the passport,

that if I booked the room at the airport, it was

half price. And, the hotel happens to be a ten

minute walk to the embassy.

So, I get a Mexico City fix.  There’s a Chinese 

restaurant next door…first thing I noticed when

I got out of the cab….so, and this is plumber’s 

logic ± if you notice something good right away,

chances are, there’s more good stuff there. 

Same for bad, actually. This trip will cost me

a few bucks…..hopefully not much consternation.

I will document it….might as well get something 

out of it. I will go in next Tuesday, after `i get my

fresh laundry and pack my bag.
