A plaza bustling with life and energy,
The stands are selling overpriced knockoff toys,
A parade washes by of Conquistadors and high schoolers throwing out candy.
The road slowly fills with horse feces crushed by the floats going by.
The washers clean it away.
The field piles with hundreds of people,
Children with tacky rainbow light swords run by
A giant is propped up, a lifeless husk
Spirits gather around the giant as a dancer approaches
The crowd all cheers for one thing,
Burn him.
We walk across the ditch in search of adventure
Through ponds and under bridges we explore a land of wonder
The most fun I’ve ever had
Within a cave we see an elongated bag with something inside
Uncle tells me it’s La Llorona
I believe him.
