THE PLANET OF SAND
by Luis Cuauhtemoc Berriozabal
I found a planet in the sand.
All the bars and taverns
were made of sand.  The beer
and whiskey tasted of sand.
But it still got you drunk.

I didn’t mind being in the
planet of sand.  The bar band
played some cool jazz.  The
band was also made of sand.
I danced with a sand woman.

Her hands were rough to the
touch.  Her kiss was sandy.
When we made love I was
in pain and ecstasy.  I just
was not ready to commit.
