La Noche sin agua --- I spill my loving lips
Dancing, laughing, and celebrating life

Whose turn is it to take the stage,
In a circus of a lost & somewhat forgotten

Bloody, bloody Ezra Pound
I never got my head around
his magnum opus: The Cantos
I’ve tried so hard but goodness knows

or perhaps it was not the meaning but the sound.
Whatever it was...

It’s in Los Angeles, California
where I spent some days 
to be with a few friends and confreres;
they welcomed and invited me for dinner
a great experience, well appreciated!

Walking into the La Fiesta, a group of young latinos were exiting
A short young man(little man syndrome) says "grande torro"
so I can hear and understand, it is a petty thing but it hurts deep.

Especially coming from a so and so, son of a foriegner.
