Cuba

The air here smells like cigar smoke
Ocean keys
Streetlight trees
Banana chips and stray things
I think it's where I belong.

Poisonous ice and guava juice
Mint lemon pineapple drinks
Bright pink vintage car comes with a driver that wants a kiss on the cheek.

Palm leaves and paper peanuts create a very nice atmosphere
I'd almost like to live here
But I have people waiting for me at home.

Strangely I don't feel alone.
