PRIVILEGIO BLANCO

Folder: 
THRU PERIPHERAL VISION

 

Wallet stolen--
credit cards long gone.

Not enough dinero 

for the Tica bus.

 

Needing to get 

from the Nicaraguan border

to Liberia

scraping enough for the local bus.

 

There’s no A.C.

It’s SRO

Los Federales stop the bus.

 

They’re checking I.D.s
for illegal Nicaraguans.

I have my passport out

ready for inspection

 

But los Federales

just scoff at me 

and push me aside

 

They never discovered

how much I photograph

like Elmer Fudd.

 

I almost felt slighted

but apparently

I just wasn’t who or what

they were looking for.

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

another based on a true story.  The names have been changed to protect the guilty.  The Tica bus is the bus for tourists and the well to do.  Without my wallet and dinero disappearing quickly, I had to ride the bus with the locals.
