Bahia
Walking along the Praia
I met a lady
With
Long black hair streaked with gray
She whispered:
“Make love to me
only
this one time
and
I promise
Macumba
will make sure you always remember tonight.”
Now
Alone
My Dreams
Always the same
Sitting on a milk crate
Using a hacksaw
Trying to cut chains from my legs
Back-and-Forth
Back-and-Forth
Back-and-Forth
No Escape

Lessons from the tropical garden!
A decade ago
I dug a hole
Placed the young plant into the soil
Nature
Provided
Sunshine and rain
Alcantarea Imperialis never asked for anything and always gave beauty, including a final gift of a spectacular flower and new pups to carry on.

What is your plan?
Collecting peanuts
Hiding them in sand
Power is finally found
Hold tight
Falling
Down
Down
Down
Uh-oh
No safety net
Except
Torn mosquito net
Bourgeois
Placing their bets
Repossessing your private jet
Shitting in pants
Throwing up in toilet
Elephant
No longer steps on mice
Demanding silence from fluff puffs
Who had to pay the price
Big Boss was a pimp in disguise
Controlled
Select corrupt whores
Until………………….
6 AM
Knock on the door
FREEDOM
Locked away
Never to be seen anymore
