To take a bus (6.5 pesos), you have to go to the corner by the market and ask a guy with a clipboard which bus to take to where you want to go. He told us there was no direct bus to the mall, so we decided on a taxi (35 pesos) instead. The taxi driver chatted us up. Yes we're a married couple. How many years? 48. Then he started reciting a love poem. Oh, you're a poet, we said. The next red light he got out of the taxi, opened his trunk, and returned with his book, Moments of Love.
A taxi driver who publishes his poetry. And recites it to passengers. And markets the book to them. Gotta love it.
Great!!! Can you post one of his poems?
