Le désespoir des tropiques

People everywhere: different, poor, noisy people
Mouldy air, dirty streets, dark clouds
Unsupportable warmness, difficult breathe, heavy steps
A lost dog, a lonely man, a child playing with rocks
Sand crunches, palm leaves dance, waves go and return
Taste sea salt on shrimps, sweet coconut in Margarita, sour of lime spread on fish
Smell the smoke of burned tortillas, the cacao of hot chocolate, the aggressive spice of salsa
