Presiding over a formica counter,
plastic Mother and Child magnetized
to the top of an ancient register,
the heady mix of smells from the open bins
of dried codfish, the green plantains
hanging in stalks like votive offerings,

a woman of no-age who was never pretty,
who spends her days selling canned memories
while listening to the Puerto Ricans complain
—“The Latin Deli: An Ars Poetica,”
Judith Ortiz Cofer
