FLOUR TORTILLAS UNITE HUMANITY
He looked down from the heavens
and saw the discord
and the hams
and the sausages
and the beans.
On the other side of the border
he saw the same discord
entre los huevos
y los jamones
y los chorizos
y los frijoles.
How can I bring these disparate foods together
as he wrapped himself in his blankets
and weathered the cold from his great heights.
He thought and thought and thought
and as he tightened his sheets around him,
the answer arrived served on a platter.
I'll create the flour tortilla.
And we'll all be one.
Since that fateful day
the flour tortilla has brought together many edibles,
which have all contributed to harmonious mornings
--along with a fresh cup of coffee--
and is the only way to start a day.
