■ THE STORY

Antelope smelled the smoke first. Run! (Running sound):

Te-te-Te-te-Te-te-Te-te

Te-te-Te-te-Te-te-Te-te

Then lion smelled the smoke. Run!

Te-te-Te-te-Te-te-Te-te

Te-te-Te-te-Te-te-Te-te

Then cheetah and leopard and hyena, too. Run!

Te-te-Te-te-Te-te-Te-te

Te-te-Te-te-Te-te-Te-te

And Giraffe, Zebra, and Wildebeest. Run!

Te-te-Te-te-Te-te-Te-te

Te-te-Te-te-Te-te-Te-te

Baboon, Ape, and Orangutan. Run!

Te-te-Te-te-Te-te-Te-te

Te-te-Te-te-Te-te-Te-te

And the birds. Fly!

Flap-fl ap-fl ap – Flap-fl ap-fl ap

Flap-fl ap-fl ap – Flap-fl ap-fl ap

And they all gathered at the far side of the field at the edge

of the jungle. “Oh no!” they moaned. “Oh no!”

They watched the flames burning up the tall grass.

“Oh no!” they moaned. “Oh no!”

Then, just above their heads they heard a little whrrr.

They looked up. It was hummingbird. She was flying toward the fire!

“What are you doing?” they cried. “What are you doing?”

The animals watched as Hummingbird flew above the flames and

tipped its head spilling a little water onto the flames from its tiny beak.

Hummingbird flew back toward the animals, over their heads and quickly

down into a little spring and filled its beak again. They watched.

“What are you doing?” they cried. “What are you doing?”

She flew back across the burning field and once again emptied her little beak full of water onto the flames. She returned and dipped her beak in the pool again and flew back toward the field.

“What are you doing?” they cried. “What are you doing?”

Again and again, Hummingbird flew with her little beak full and dropped the

water on the flames and the animals asked,

“What are you doing?” They cried, “What are you doing?”

She stopped for a moment.

“What are you doing?” They cried, “What are you doing?”

She looked at the others, “I am doing what I can,” she said, “doing what I can.”

And then she sang:

I’m doing what I can

That’s all that I can do

To make this world a better place

For me and you.

Never give up :)

Road tape from Rishikesh

Time to get myself together

Seriously now 

Everything rolls

Rain in Kathmandu 

Kaal Bhairava

Shiva rain

Destruction 

Dance

Revenge

The One who brakes, the One who makes

"Look at those electrical cables. They are all

 fucked up!"

"You should see Valparaiso, Chile.", Adi said.

Our feet are cold

The Nepali poem said :

"Cook within yourself

saulty, atomic varieties"

I like that cafe 

and the graffiti at the hostel

The mountains roar around

A silent roar

esoteric, prominent 

I heard the echo of my voice

I had a dream

This trip is for the meaning 

of death, not the meaning 

of life

can't explain that

somebody is sick in the

next room

everybody is sick

every city is sick

the mountain 

the river

the ocean

It rains in Kathmandu

City Jane (2022) by Alkistis Voulgari  Hi, this is City Jane Don't put me in a frame I go insane I've spent years walking on this concrete land Playing music in my mind in a fantasy band You see, some prophets say "Once you feel real love, you don't have to pray anymore" So, what the f* is going on? I've spent my whole life against my nature? C' mon! I'm wild, I'm alive, I'm still burning inside I'm not your concrete girl I'm not your photo to sell I want to dream I want to scream I want the self and the (e)steem City bells city mud City lights city trust I am here and I'm no more sad This game is mine Prime day prime time I'll live and I'll give all of my soul in the gig I'll dance I'll crash I'll vomit all your trash Jungle is the City City is the Jungle Thanks for knowing how to handle! Now I'm free from you You cannot cut me in two My Tarzan waits out of your land To dance, to play, to make love on the sand
