4-2 Tidbit

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.

4-1 Musical Interlude (Snorkel Movement)

Yahoy!
(musical interlude)

cast off from the shore,
head out on the water,
blue to the sky,
which smiles above.

cast off from the shore,
jump into the water,
blue as the sky,
which smiles above.

So many wonders,
colors, and plunders,
treasures of fish,
swimming,
swish-swish.

So many wonders,
colors and plunders,
what more could you wish,
from a BLUE-SKY- DAY
-LIKE THIS!

Yahoy! Yahoy! Yahoy!

Stars on the sea floor,
stars in my hand,
what could be more fun,
than a day spent with,
stars on the sea floor,
stars in my hand,
dots, squares, and white bands,
dots, stripes, and we can,

Yahoy! Yahoy! Yahoy!

cast off from the shore,
head out on the water,
blue to the sky,
which smiles above.

cast off from the shore,
jump into the water,
blue as the sky,
which smiles above.

so many swimmers,
fins, tails, and glimmers,
so many swimmers,
tails, fins, and shimmers,
so many swimmers,
tails, fins, shimmers, and glimmers,
glimmers and shimmers,
fins, tails, and swimmers,
every fish is a winner,
(every swimmer could be dinner!)

what?

Yahoy! Yahoy! Yahoy!
Yahoy! Yahoy! Yahoy!

cast off from the shore,
head out on the water,
blue to the sky,
which smiles above,
miles above,
smiling with love,
above in the blue sky,
a day for you and I.

Yahoy!

03-30 This Is Travel Club

circles on circles,
mowed lawns,
lizards,
pavement is,
HOT,
boxes bright,
orange, blue,
white, poles,
periwinkle,
pavement is,
gates everywhere,
fences,
circles on circles,
tennis courts,
gates,
where is the beach?
this is travel club,
not here,
not here,
blind leading the blind,
it is so HOT,
lawns, lizards,
blue skies,
smack our faces,
backhand, return,
smack, circles
on circles,
flat feet, smack,
the pavement is,
where is the beach?
where is the beach/?
this is travel club,
dirt road,
wandering,
golf carts parking,
dirt road, stalled, then,
wind blowing fierce,
wind blowing sweet,
blue ocean, palms pose,
waves on the feet,
radio playing,
circles upon circles,
blue skies,
sand, towel, nap,
this is travel club.

3-31 Dream Sequence (Run)

they gave me a gun.

I don't know why.
I didn't ask, but

when the children started dying,
they told me to,

run.
so I did.
with the gun,
carrying her over my shoulder,
I don't know,
if she was,
alive,

or not,
I never checked,
I didn't think too,
I just,
ran,

down the rain, dirt trails,
down through the city,
there was me, her,
trails, city streets,
corners,
smoke, me,
and my gun,
hitting my hip,

it was hot.

I was in training,
or at least I thought I was,
they just told me to run,
where I was cool,
it become hot,
binoculars slapping my chest,
I didn't understand,
I didn't have time to understand,

she was heavy,
with green blades whipping around me,
she was so heavy,

golden eagle flies by.

3-29 Three Tequila Floor

The margarita went down first,
silver fish in lime flashing,
then out with the champagne,
of course,
a rose in palm, sparkling,
followed by me, white as the wine,
bottle in hand,
vodka, cranberry,
bed.

3-28 and I was done

and I was done.
the rain came down.
and I was done.
the house felt empty,
no table,
bags packed,
Tater pouting on the carpet,
but,
I was done.

the rain came down,
all around me,
all I could think about,
was the empty house
the rain coming down,
and me,
in this house,
with the rain coming down,
done.
