April 10, 1979 (I was 34)
Tienda Tordillo is Marlena’s store
south of Mulegé across from the Posada
God she is beautiful
The only girl I’ll ever love
said a United pilot who danced with her at Serenidad
vacationing in his own plane
while his ground crews struck
He gave us a note to give to her
before he flew on down to Cabo
In the note he said she sparkled
and he left his number in Sausilito
He told us if he never saw her again it was okay
because he could still love her always
I thought he was great not so much for the thought
but that he did not care that his pilot friends
gave him shit about it His love was in his smile
but her true love had gone back to the U.S.
deserting when he discovered her pregnant
All that pilot knew was that she danced well
and she did but I wondered what she thought
in the store where the gringos permanente
played with her son calling him Jerry
instead of his christened Geraldo
