Kind faces smiling,
Nodding politely at words
They don’t seem to understand,
Show me pictures
Showing the richness
Of a faraway distant land,
Multicoloured motor cars,
Brown apartments rising high
In Puerto Rican skies.
Author's Notes/Comments:
In Puerto Rican Skies dates from 2015, while having been based on an autobiographical song, relating to incidents from my childhood, written at the age of 18 for one of the first in a series of self-made cassette albums, if you can call them that. London, aged 18 (image).
