Of all the pills, candles, aphrodisiacs

That litter store shelves.

Healing crystals, special powders,

Gum, drinks, things found

In gas stations.

None have half the potency as

The one item that is both hard and soft,

Sweet yet salty, cool and warm

And a dazzling display of colors,

Loved by men and women

From all walks, easily enjoyed daily.

Humble taco, there for us

When our own natural feelings and

Functions fail us in our moment of need.
