From having been born so often…
…
I have salty experience
like creatures of the sea
with a passion for stars
and an earthy destination …
- Pablo Neruda
Haitian Love Song
One.
Oceans wept.
Two
Pull me close.
Three.
On summer winds.
Four.
I never wanted to say goodbye.
Five.
The countryside looks bare.
Six.
I’d become smoke.
Seven.
To be a star.
Eight.
Every inch of this body.
Nine.
Your eyes appear.
Ten.
Before my feet left the porch.
Rio de Janeiro – Carioca Blues
the contrast woke me up
when i open my eyes slowly
it takes a moment for both to align
does this mean i am crossed-eyed when my eyes are closed
it only means that your nerves are a little
slow
in reaction time
a life that is too sedentary
could cause that the eye muscles are weak
practice with spacial relationships
of real people and three dimensional objects
will train
your eyes
to automatically
converge when open
the eyes protect themselves when they are closed by moving up and down and to the side
it’s normal
most of us have this
that’s why if you look under someone’s lid while they are asleep you see just the white part of the eye
Jungle Fever in São Paulo
a right side view from the top of banespa gives me
kind of a whooshy feeling when I turn my head
to look at the jungle
i see a yellow giant
a bird is on his mind
there is space for more gemeos
for everybody
who wants
freedom – リベルダーデ - liberdade
and there’s me too
wondering – is there poison in that bottle
wandering
as usual
downtown for lunch
i’m getting tired
In Charge – Buenos Aires
Red like Tango
Lights at Nights -Buenos Aires
Cementerio de la Recoleta – the most expensive real estate in Buenos Aires
The Buffaloes used to say: do what you do, roam where you roam, be what you are
Well you’ve gotta have a wash but you can’t clean your name
You’re now called Jimmy you’ll be Jimmy just the same
The keys are in the bag in a chest by the door
One of Jimmy’s friends has taken the floor
Jimmy won’t you please come home
Where the grass is green and the buffaloes roam
Dear old Jimmy you’ve forgotten you’re young
But you can’t ignore the buffalo song
Moriarty – "Jimmy" von naiverecords
And the Buffaloes used to say be proud of your name
The Buffaloes used to say be what you are
The Buffaloes used to say roam where you roam
The Buffaloes used to say do what you do
If you remember you’re unkown
Buffaloland will be your home
