La Ballena Azul
This van was as massive
as a small house.
She was rusting from saltwater
and her blue paint was fading.
She was called
la ballena azul - the blue whale.
I sat behind the wheel
as she fish tailed through
tropical mud puddles
when a lump
of columbian cocaine
on a silver key
was put beneath my nose.
The rock-‘n’-roll was fast and loud.
I am not sure
why
I said ‘no’.
