Rio Haikus

I wrote some haikus about Rio...

1
At Posto Nove
Sipping my caipirinha
Drunky before noon


2
Hiding my iPod
Trying to look Brazilian
Eyes behind my head

3
Que loucura*
Under the arcs of Lapa
Kissing cute strangers

*- loucura- craziness

4
Waking up at night
From the sounds of fired guns
More forgotten deaths

5
Rob me in the street
If you'll be able to eat
My money is yours

6
Jesus hovers there
On top of Corcovado
Watching every move

7
Beautiful people
Ridiculous beach bodies
Every shade of brown

8
Going home so soon
Back to that place I knew once
Only physically
