Poetic Asides/ Poetic Bloomings 13-1 lucky/unlucky

 Lucky

 

Before my husband and I were married,

he bunked with a Mexican man

named Otullio Lucero,

who owned a small RV.

He went by “Lucky”.

 

Every morning, before Lucky got out of bed,

he would reach over, pour himself a cup of coffee,

open the refrigerator, grab a jalapeno pepper

and take a bite and a swig of his coffee.

He never got heartburn.

 

Maybe that’s why they called him Lucky.
