bad spellers    you can't even find a map
in that mess you call a car.      Put those Slurpees
away-        They have formed an ooze
across the windowpanes in squares     they fog it
Shout lovely; ask for directions. Don't be a
guy like in the commercials.  On this trip
through high temperatures
Puzzle- you caught a break in the corner
of the map 		A big CIRCLE around
Mexico- All around the map, little Raymond
Pettibon figures with bubbles above contain-
ing smart comments. You are still lost but have an 
	idea that you will


be a Harrison Ford figure
And while that guy swings his sword
you'll take your gun out and shoot
him dead- take his map, 
		and write the word MEXICCO
on the top page like a grade school report.
But you're still lost,
can't spell and 
your finger just cramped up big time.
	So you drop everything
and just write the word "MEXICO"
again and again until you finally get it right.
