said Katie calmly to the iguana on the shore,
"Puerto Ricans are not afro-american, or black,
they are Puerto Ricans."
Katie adjusts the folds of her towel, looking
at the iguana intently.
"Rum is made from molasses,
(at least on this island)."
she added as an afterthought,
"cuba libre, means a free cuba,
best served with coke, not pepsi,
officially."
about to pick up her latest copy of Simple Life,
she said
"the fort was attacked four times in four hundred years.
four times."
She shook her head, flipping to page 34
the iguana blinks his eye
(do iguanas blink? this one did.)
"Well." she replied
The iguana closes his eyes.
