Blue Orange Green Pink Purple

Our travel map is here!

Visceral Realism

Cartegena
sweat´a´hana
it´s like a savannah
only with less sand
well not a lot less
but hot, maybe more humid
more people too.
more internet cafes.
more fruit.
more norte americanas most likely.

24 hr bus rides
in Colombia are hell
kids kicking you
mothers not caring
children sleeping on you
fathers snoring
turns, twists, bumps
bathroom smells
door won´t open
too dark
where´s my light
too dark to find the light
back to my seat
fall asleep
wake up, have to pee more urgently
BOOM! a gringo left the bathroom
how do i open the door?
just pull it really hard

British in Colombia
are they British Colombian?
Canadian? nay.
are they Colombian
definitely not
what did you say
what was that
i´m sorry, i don´t understand
what what what
speak slower
speak clearer
that´s how you say that
ha ha ha, really?
o jeez, so many British in Colombia
where are the Scottish
where are the Aussies
where are the Kates
the Colombian Kates
the traveling colombian half Aussie double Kate Kates
not british colombians
not colombians in britain
not british in colombians
not even colombians

Blondes
few and far between
a blonde is a warning
an omen
for danger
more than red
more than yellow
more than green
stay away from colombian blondes
they are not colombian
or they´re not blonde
either way a blonde is not good here
before you know
you´ll be giving a chicken to a bum
not a real bum
but a professional bum
you´ll be outside a bus terminal
feeding chickens to bums
the blondes that is
only the blondes
only the gringos and the gringas
only they feed chickens to the ´bums´
fried, greasy, sickly looking chickens
the worst chickens
in the worst conditions
bred in the worst predispositions
around horse crap
around human crap
around garbage
around trash
around chavs
british white trash that is
worse than americans
worse than chickens
worse than a colombian chicken
