Read by Rabbi Neil Blumofe
As we drive
I see birds
high in the sky.
I close my eyes and imagine
I am a bird
flying all the way to Mexico.
I can taste the chamoy raspas.
I can hear the mariachi
and church bells.
I feel my heart jump.
Below me, I see trees
dancing in the wind.
I don't want to open my eyes
but when I do I'm back in the car
and we're still driving.
I look up and see the sign:
"Welcome to Mexico."
