Ode to Mexico City

Beautiful Polanco, your streets are lined with embassies and mansions
Conveniently located next to el Bosque de Chapultepec
While strolling your streets, I long for a salary expansion
But sadly I make a measly Fulbright check.

Most of my time was spent in the hip La Condesa
with perfectly groomed dogs and strong cappuccinos
Cajeta cupcakes and malted milkshakes in diners
food from Japan, Argentina, and Venezuela were placed on the mesa
Into the giant park to see modern art near the house called Los Pinos
You make me miss a little less my dear city of the Forty Niners.
