Mother in a snit
elephant on its last set of teeth
Child in the bright light
fascinated by walkways
and bridges
Styrofoam coffee
and non-dairy creamer
doors that open and close
Children slobbering
against the fish tanks
of Amazonia
Medicine men dancing
reel-to-reel
A machine for bottled water
Concrete the color of sea
the color of stones
