build shit
over my years be
tween 14 and when
he passed in 1987
you do the math
i met him in 1974
born 56
i was a kid
between his chapel
(just benches and an
unassuming Altar in Gallup,
New Mexico — Route 66) and
the di
ning room
was his tiny kitchen
always a large cauldron on
the back burner soaking beans tha
t we ate for
dinner stuffed in a flour
tortilla shell that
he had kindly warmed
he was the cook
last evening i so
aked a pound
cooked them tonight — a
2 hour simmer
one bean
after draining though a
co
lander
hid
under a bowl
in the sink
sneaky bean
