Mayan people
Conquered, converted, and set free
I feel the same way
Some hustlers, some druggies, kids with a ball
Boats, buses and days go by
Expectations being satiated
Set by a lake beneath volcanoes in the forest
I wish I could call this town special
But the HDTVs and blue jeans say it isn´t
It is only special outside of town
Villagers paddling the lake, children laboring firewood and avocadoes
Tourism is finally out of sight
The harder it rains the more obvious it becomes:
Life is crazy

ReplyDeletei'm envious of you. rain helps me to think more clearly.
And i know what you mean about wanting a place to be special. I feel that all the time when driving across America- want a town to be special and it being just another iteration of chain stores, gas station employees and decades ago high school football championships.
miss you man.
