To Mexico City

To Mexico City

You are not alluring and seductive
As a city that never sleeps
You are untamed and audacious
And with this you have made peace

Your skies are thick and muddy
Amid them lights hardly seen
They lack grand and ornate towers
With lovers kissing underneath

The Thames’ celebrity does not daunt
The Seine’s beauty does not distress
You have Frida, Xochimilco, and Rivera
You don’t care to flaunt nevertheless

I never cared to know you
I never cared to see
I feared you and disliked you
But you embraced and accepted me
