And I think we'll go ahead and do
another one related to the moon called Mexican Made.
Would the moon help?
The sun did.
Changed the Señora's white skin to red then copper.
I'm going to take a sun bath, Martha.
Sun bath, see.
Martha would nod, smile, look at her own dark skin and wish that
she could lie outside at night bathed by moonlight,
live with her eyes closed, like the Señora wake to a new skin
that would glisten white when she stepped off the dusty bus
at the entrance to her village.
I'm always amazed when you walk down the streets in Mexico.
If you look at any of the magazine stalls,
the cover girls are all blond and have very white skin.
And I think that's probably true throughout Latin America.
