Burlantin
Say you're in love
everybody must get stonned
say 'laugh of our lives'
sing, hat rough voice,
sing
in here everybody must get stonned...,

draw conclusions on the wall, dylan said
true
like window glass

with this writing, sweet you
a face a company old smoker spitter
hot terracota roof morning the sun
they are here they have names
i can be a shaddow, but i've a name also
your babes eyes look crazy, the dylan says

my train empty stations
airports
docks
night sweat
be it
hong kong
be it this me
the hour that ship comes in, he says again

the answer might be blowing in the eastern wind, of no salt, no time, this time bob it just didn't fit

these i remember
light buoy reds
these are my harmonica blues
45 minutes of catamaran
river of pearls brown of the night
and other night boats chinese light
the dark side of the river (road), this that loneliness of grains of nothings of time, no more time than 45 mikes, boarder, passing card, ok, taxi, home – home?.

Hang keya.go. Taxi go, go.

What other name, Burlantim...deste sonho que teima em não ter fim.....

here streets are blue, neon blue, them they smell garbanna, or worse, mistify
russian  blonde, mellow thai, philippo joy, chinook fast and chinese opera on the tv, smell soap and min, fake fukian perfume, fake fake, old so fake than reality...than this
words are tasteless
words
words are in newspapers

never write that
just think you write
