A Poet in a Macau Bar

                                                          Papa Osmubal & Susanna Lei Kam Sio

One vodka, please.

Now a whiskey.

So bitter.  A sweet Vinho do Porto will fix it.

So sweet.  A rum, please.

So hot.  A beer to kill the blaze.

Tsingtao beer, of course.

Another Tsingtao to totally kill the heat.

Another beer to relax.

San Miguel beer this time.

Now a gin.

That’s too bland.

What about a gin with lemon?

That’s too sour.

Wash that with another beer.

Any beer that you have.

Now let me sing.

Now let me talk to my self.

Now let me be myself.

Now let me write poetry.
