I would love to visit Africa I would love to visit the heart of Africa there's no doubt it would have my heartbeat my ancestry, my love, my wide open eyes dad told me long ago as i scooted close to his campfire that his families namesake traced to towns, rivers, counties in Africa i was overwhelmed really, really me a white guy, somewhat and Japanese, Polish but it's true when you see my last name maybe the roots traced back to the beginning of time really, really who knows, but it's true it's true, i say someday, when the sunshine's on me and the weathers fine i would love to go to Africa, and visit ... hopefully with the black bear, the one here or the one in my imagination ... the one that always loves to get her nose stuck in the honey jar, i love that ... it's so her okay that was a joke because i love to joke because i'm a funny bunny, too i dream, does it hurt to dream? i dream of that day and opportunity for a bouquet of flowers, black bear's name on it or not, i would love to ride the Congo river the breeze in my face, riding the look, khakis, a Congo hat, her in my arms man, how i dream the look would be fine is that bad, can it get any better? i dream of riding an elephant the biggest and wildest elephant okay that was an exaggeration because i'd be scared give me a baby elephant that's fine and visiting the lion and tiger safaris and mingling with the natives and buying a sari for her, especially for her i dream of checking into the hotel in Africa, a nice hotel overlooking a lake with Congo trees dancing to my presence ... see how i dream, i told you and having the front desk do a double take of my last name and then ... i would just roll my eyes, for effect, maybe to impress ... only her connie pachecho 3/8/17
