Hurricane – v2

A hole-in-the-wall shop,

Counter and seller, that’s it.

Plastic cups and pitchers

A bit of rum, a bunch of ice

Grenadine, lemon, lime

And Passion Fruit

Step into the noise,

The crowd, the Quarter,

Listen, feel, as care

Merges with rum

Replaced with a smile

And a change in my gait

Slower, slide down the street

Sway to the sound, rhythm

Pace of the place, color and vibe

Under the porches and intrigue

Hidden in backyard gardens

Knowing glances
