The Republican convention. In Tepoztlan, no one,

except for the odd gringo, seems to know or care.

Just sitting in the zocalo, a balloon man making

great Tiggers, the usual display, outfit, of Mexicana

in this sleepy town. Feeling great today... my 

consciousness must have raised a notch 

accidentally....like an accidental orgasm.  Much not

to do about anything....the news from outside the

closet...ain't going in there again...I didn't lose 

anything in there...too dark for bright folks.

If you don't like reality, just wait for as long as 

necessary, but try to open your eyes once in a
while. It helps. You might forget about yourself
for a moment and notice a flower, a kid with a
balloon, a nice doggy. Many times for brief
moments and sooner or later you'll meet the
Buddha in person. How do I know this?

No, I won't tell you...you have to follow the
bread  crumbs by yourself. One pill makes you
larger and one pill makes you small. Most don't
do anything at all.

The monkeys don't even know they're caged,
and the frogs are starting to feel the boil. No
importe aqui. The continuing revolution of Mexico...
the people just gave up  and let the cartels run
everything. A good question is; is it more expensive
than having a real government? A

look Norde doesn't provide a positive answer.

No English newspaper here anymore....used to be 

the Herald, then, the Daily took over for a while. Now,

no pleasure of crossword or reading Dilbert. Of course,

it's all on computer...along with everything else.

The Germans and English didn't conquer this part of 

the New World...(any echoes of "New Age" there?),

the Spanish did. No wonder everything leaks, won't

hold water. The Germans and English did it right

el Norde, with the help of Irish, Italians, and, of 

course, slaves. They were as sure of themselves

as cancer, which it seems it has become...once you 

start killing, where do you stop? Evidently, not yet.

In Mexico, the Spanish had children with the 

indigenous people...a cause of great confusion for

the descendants, because they were also killing them

at the same time. Yet, the older culture was never 

really lost. I'd say that means hope for the future, if

anything really does.
