March 31 - We Go to the Orphanage


So many rumours
About this place, but one look
inside confirms them


March 30 - A Last-Minute Celebration


Late on a Friday
We mark Emerson's birthday
With a carrot cake

March 29 - My Strange Favourite Walk


Smouldering garbage
And all these sewage lagoons
Yet beauty is here

March 28 - But They Said They Were Coming


In any country
It seems you're always waiting
For the cable guy

March 27 - I Get A Gig in a Restaurant


The people upstairs
Ask me if I'll make music
Oh, definitely

The longer we go
without, the better the price
for a TV sounds


March 25 - I Make Curtains


Drapes are not my thing
But a market stall has cloth
And I've got some thread

March 24 - Lost in Timeline


Hours slip past me
I'm lost in old photos, thoughts
Life as public art

March 23 - Still Kind of Slow, But Who's Complaining?


I could use more work
But I can always find ways
To fill my time here

Poor people come here
To get care for less money
Me, I like their stuff

March 21 - Another Day Without Electricity


No power today
Why? No wind, no rain, no storms
That's just how it goes

March 18 - Wild Night at the Fair


The fairgrounds are jammed
But at a dollar a ride
Most can only watch

March 17 - At the Folkloric Festival


Proud parents gather
To watch their children swirl past
Like dancing flowers

March 16 - Why Is Everywhere So Far?


Somehow the concept
of easy travel changes
When it takes this long

March 15 - The Day Without End


Workshops shouldn't be
this long - 11 hours
and still not over

March 14 - A Painful Drive to Siguatepeque


Stuffed into a van
Us and the cacao growers
Bound for a taller

March 13 - Merlin Wants a Proposal by Monday


I'm writing a plan
On an issue I don't know
In Spanish. That's bold

March 11 - Our First Feria Patronal


It's festival week
Rodeos, dancers, fair rides
Music in the air

March 10 - Alongside the Christian Work Party


Spectators, we thought
Instead, we jump in the hole
And dig for hours

March 9 - An Idea Takes Root


Left alone, my thoughts
Assemble a project from
Words I barely know

March 8 - Fresh Veggies Change Everything


The funny thing is
I never liked salads much
Now they're the mainstay

March 7 - Injured in San Pedro Sula


Another long trip
To the city of danger
I trip, too - skinned knees

March 6 - A Lucky Break


Life without TV
Would be much more difficult
But for movie night

March 4 - We Ride Into the Hills Above Copan



I met Donald at
The sewage ponds, and now he
Guides us on horseback

March 3 - My New Favourite Weekend Routine



We go to the “beach”
A pool that the disco crowd
Calls Papa Chango’s

March 2 - Me and CASM Find Our Fit



Trifolios are
Surprisingly popular
I'm glad I can help

March 1 - Thank You, Bank of Atlantida


Finally a bank
That knows how to get things done
Money in my hands
