Lechugueras

Librarian of books unread

misunderstood

undeciphered

open air,

packing heads

sheets to be leafs

Round books

open air books,

unnumbered

manipulating pages of lettuce

sorted in time

by our guts

touching us with your gloves

of lettuce,

attentive magic balls

supermarket row pleasers

computer heads counted like books with a beep

by cashiers who hold their plots in one hand,

all the plots you invented early in the day

on your hands

with your rebozo inspired turban

inscribing our Palestinian selves into California

our indigenous face masks into Chiapas

all in your books
