Moqueca com Peixes!
Got two poetry rejections within twelve hours so I’m a little subdued today but that didn’t stop me from getting errands done. I dropped off my laundry at the lavedeira in the apartment building where I’m renting. I am being … Continue reading
We’re going to the Zoo
I love waking up to a nice rainy morning. No need to rush to consciousness, just let it happen or not. I had no appointments or expectations so I lazed around until 9am then decided that since the rain was … Continue reading
Brazil v. Chile, Round of 16
Thought I’d go to the Fan Fest to watch Brazil play Chile in the first of the round of 16 games. Based on stories I’d heard about the Fan Fest the last time Brazil played, I thought I’d better get … Continue reading
The Beach

Football
Brings out the worst in us Tribal aggression Ritual war Between nations Cities Religions Politics Fans sold as markets Advertisers bidding For our money Nations bribing To host the next Competing at extortion Of their citizenry And every four years … Continue reading
Campo Grande
Got more poetry done tonight over dinner than I expected. I went to a restaurant in the Shopping Barra mall next door. Not long after I placed my order and just before Nigeria-Bosnia kicked off, the power went out. The … Continue reading
