The Burrito of My Hopes and Wishes

The Burrito of my Hopes and Wishes

My horoscope said
Today would be
The burrito of my hopes and wishes.

The warm, soft, lightly browned tortilla,
Filled to bursting
With everything I've ever wanted,
Or will want.

Pulled pork, substantial as wealth,
A little messy, but life is like that.
Green picante, and a dash of habanero,
Bold and interesting,
Painful now and then, you know how peppers are,
Cheese, melting and bubbly,
Holding it all together,
Security and flavor combined.

Lettuce and tomatoes
Giving the semblance of health at least
And luscious guacamole,
Sour cream, more salsa, olives,
For those hopes and wishes
I haven't even thought of
Yet.
