~ El Duque

            i meet Miguel Chavez Ramirez
at mid-day in the plaza 
in Urubamba, perú.
he is asleep on a park bench 
when i first walk by on my way 
to buy a pack of cigarettes.
when i come back, he is awake.
I sit down on the bench in the shade.
he tells me that he is waiting for 
his lawyer, who is late.

“fuckin’ lawyers,” i say.

he nods in agreement.

apparently, there is some legal
problem with the non-profit charity
he runs for children in the Sacred Valley.

he tells me about his time
in the United States, about coming
to manhatten with no money,
about marrying a woman whose family
was part of the mob, and about his sister Pilar
who was the third wife of John Wayne.

the lawyer never does show up.
