Caipirinha
Original nonfiction and poetry on The New Modern Man by RF
La Samba
That’s where I first met you
I figured what the hell
I’ll take a chance
First the brown sugar kissed my tongue
Then the lime danced
And your fire illuminated me
Caipirinha why have we never met before
Girls in green skirts
And yellow blouses
The night quickly became a blur
But I was smiling ear to ear
That is until
I ended up in the men’s room alone
I didn’t feel so well
Caipirinha why did you do this to me
Nalda followed me
To make sure I hadn’t slipped away
With one of the brightly dressed waitresses
We had a good laugh
The next day
I didn’t want you as a friend anymore Caipirinha
But time eases all pain
And now your haze envelops me again
Perhaps its the simplicity
Or the speed with which you ease
The pain a man feels
And the fleeting happiness you bring me, Caipirinha
