You take a spiritual trip to an island in Asia
your host family gives you some
bottled water with a broken seal
the shops sell handicrafts and
tiny little fake guitars
everybody smokes and throws trash on the ground
On your first day you buy a colorful sarong
the locals wear jeans and t-shirts
that say things like fuck you
you look away from other tourists in sarongs
everybody smokes and throws trash on the ground
A handsome man sees you walk slowly
through the soaking heat
and asks if you would like a lift
on his motorbike
you buy him lunch inside an air-conditioned restaurant
and through the glass you see the trash
the smokers throw upon the ground
He speaks some english and his manner is sublime
you hold his hand and feel he is the reason
you are in his land
you give him money when he says his wife is dead
he tells you meet me later but he doesn't show
and then you cry
It's terrifying when the cars drive on the left side
your tears are drying as you ride your rented motorbike
and then you see the man, a big white woman by his side
they're laughing as you pull away
and crash into a ditch
you took a spiritual trip to an island in Asia
you took a spiritual trip to an island in Asia
you took a spiritual trip to an island in Asia
