Through the Wrong Door

San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, México

Pursuing the moon,
I stumbled through the wrong door—
only shadows there!

Doorway to Adventure

An enticing doorway in Zacatecas, Mexico


They told me to look behind the dark door,
The door that was outlined in red.
They said that I’d find some gold on the floor—
At least, that’s how I heard it said.

But when the door cracked and I went within,
I found only dust, and no gold;
Dejected and poor, I’ve taken to gin—
And now my sad story is told.
