San Juan Puerto Rico at 9:02 pm 

and contrary to popular belief

I am not on my demon time.

I am on no time at all

but the unforgivable rise and fall of the tide 

under the same moon I tried to escape back in your city

but tonight holds me, motherly

San Juan Puerto Rico in the company of my favorite girl

except we have nothing to discuss

so we drink.

San Juan te absorbe

said the old man I eavesdropped on

and I wished it would 

absorb me whole until I drowned 

in the golden sound of my fifth beer bottle.
