Our Man in Europe/now Belize, Dave Delacroix: "The Candle."

 Our Man in Europe/now Belize (place near Mexico): "The Candle."

R. U. WORTH the Candle? That Shakespearean-IDIOT'S tale? (Hamlet. NOBODY'S called Hamlet these days?)  R. U. devout TO your own Soul? Do U. "Kabuki" (Japanese-Theatre) sword fight, do battle with your CONSCIENCE to the left or TO the right, is it courage or folly that drives U. ON -conveyed by a luxury yacht or an ever-circling Caracol in-sight of Treasure Island? R.U. WORTH the Candle...before it expires?

(VACUUM!)

The turmoil, URGENCE bubbles above & below; chaos or harmony, war & peace. A pretty dance we lead as the Candle dissolves.
