My Cinco de Mayo

Leona-Divide-Race-2023_8551

My Cinco is sunshine and huge feathered serpents tickling the morning sky

Kiddie parades and the Mexican Hat Dance!
“Watcha! You did that wrong!”
“It’s OK, it’s just a BIG FLOPPY HAT”

The School Assembly
“JESSE, WE NEED YOU TO READ THIS TO THE SCHOOL BECAUSE, UM, YOU’RE BROWN.”

but i was born in el sereno and my spanish isn’t that good

“IT DOESN’T MATTER, JUST PRACTICE AND YOU’LL DO FINE!”

Flashforward to college ———- It wasn’t all a flash

More dancing!
(Scene: Internal : Stanford University, Ballet Folklorico)
“Gotta wear that bull headdress and hit my mark on the stage”
“Oye, the mariachis are all drunk!”

“Here I gooooooooo!”

[repeat]

(Scene: External: Streets of Downtown Denver)

BounceBounceBounce Following a mayoral candidate down Cinco de Mayo parade route. OMG, this is crazy! Gotta keep the camera steady so I can get at least some footage…….Why the hell is he running so fast? Thank God for adrenaline!!

Darkness falls fast like the last Corona in the bucket.
I hope the Mayas are wrong. I want more than 3 more Cincos…………….
