One True Love 32


11



I should have known--

Page 5 Walter Benton,

Tacos, enchiladas, rellenos,

All that dark hair,

All those dark eyes,

All the dark skin.

Ear rings, rock ‘n’ roll,

Dope, booze, Spanish,

Spaghetti, lasagna,

FSU, mountains, sea,

Sun, moon, jeans, mouths,

Noses, legs, boobs, cunts,

Chili, tequila,

New Mexico, fucked-up

Families, rejections, coke,

Clouds white and sky blue--

Everything was leading

Up to

YOU!



"11, I should have known" was first published in Two Wholes Make It Total, 1978.  The persona feels that his new true love had been waiting for him, if only he had known.
