Missing Spanish Chicks

Foxy Spanish chicks roost here trustworthy guidebooks claim,
Instead cold children crowd the squares with chattery Spanish names
Merchants comfortable on Winter’s bottoms smoke wrinkled cigarettes
When real girls disappear, el Policia interrogate men they’ve met
Mistress wives’ alibis they’d buy except the Wintry matriarch’s
Whose sodden Spanish Spring staggered in sometime too late in March
Cap de Creus, Catalonia, Spain and Balboa Peninsula, California
