Aida Lives In Tijuana (Bussokusekika)

Edwin Tanguma 1966 (CA)



Aida Lives In Tijuana   (Bussokusekika)

The great mystery
Who can understand God’s plan
Life can be complex
What of Aida Gastélum
I hear she is a Felix
Aida lives in Tijuana

About this poem

I remember when I was in the Marines…Some fellow Marines and myself drove to TJ one weekend on a liquor run…While we were strolling around I saw a picture of a beautiful young woman…She was dressed in a sparkling silver outfit on some local bar’s door…And for some strange unknown reason I felt as IF we were meant for each other…I didn’t go into the bar and we bought our liquor and drove back to base…And on our way back to base we decided to go to San Clemente…As we were returning we decided to go to a 7/11 to buy some cokes to mix with the liquor…As I was making a left turn on a green arrow a woman ran a red light and smashed my car…Needless to say we were never able to return to TJ after that…I believe that was in 1985…I believe that the woman I married was an older version of the woman I saw in the picture we finally met in 1991…Of course I could be wrong…Who knows what God’s plan is???Well…Maybe Aida may not be a virgin by mankind’s beliefs even though all of her deliveries were via c section…And there was that one time we visited her and her husband and my wife discovered a lock of Aida’s hair under the pillow I was going to use on the bed we were going to sleep in…Living apart for so long can cause people do some crazy stuff…Was Aida trying to cast some type of spell on me…I don’t believe in those things…And what of Emmanuel???Who can understand such things???Some people will continue to lie and deceive because that is all that they have ever known all of their lives…Can those people ever change???Who knows???I couldn’t sleep…I wonder IF GWB will continue to deny seeing a rainbow in San Benito???And what of that which I call my signet seal???Who can say???Deny deny deny…Lie lie lie…Am I lying about Ezekiel 9???Thus is life…Believe what you may…I could be a lying myself…
