Avenida de Mundo
(what a world!)
has a pulse, amigo
this asphalt is alive—
skaters are fearless
in the no helmet zone
long boards, Penny’s
carrying their surfboards
slingshot behind racing
bicycles, rusty Beetles
and the shaggy beach horses
there are tables along the
Avenida de Mundo
(what a world!)
grab an espresso
or a ceviche taco
and watch the mongrel mayhem
in the no leash zone
the free dog, surf dog, always moving
not fixed dog
San Pancho dog
gotta be heaven for a dog
dog street
from Federal Highway 200
to the Playa San Pancho
Avenida de Mundo
(what a world!)
has all you need, amiga
good food, wine, musica
the dreaded hippie
the surfing turista
in the who cares zone
it’s a one-stop street
in bare feet—
on the Avenida de Mundo
