Las Calles are paved in cobalt blue
walks in circles leads to a purpose,
the reason you flew twelve hours.
There are no vacant corners.
All races of societies
fill the sidewalk with their colorful articles,
pottery,
hand carved pieces
of memories.
In the café, we drink in parrot color glasses
and juices.
Plated goodies, exotic fruits –the American ordinary.
Languages spew the air sounding confused
and excited.
We catch a tram back to the hotel
glossy bags are good as gold
and in each a treasure.
Bangles or a squirrely local art painting.
Next morning, we go snorkeling in azure
blue Caribbean waters
like moon rocks.
Exotic fish in the corals
of moon rock. We drink
rum and sway
in the sun, watch a dolphin drift,
planning for tomorrow.
