Three Line Lunch: Mariela’s Tacos
a yearlong diary in three-line poems by Jeff Rogers, day 223
Mariela’s Tacos, Koreatown, Thursday Evening
Spanish only behind counters. 3 Korean boys knit caps wolf burritos. White office dweeb,
Too-short tie, tries Spanish on Latino colleagues. Korean girl, cut shirt off shoulder
Walks by, shoots a hard look. Old Latino woman—breasty man?—bundled up shuffles past.
