The carnival heart.

In PuErTo RiCO, YOU didn't see me dance.
You MISSED the thriller moves. And my body curves flirting with the shadows in the dim light.

Or MaYBe YOU didn't. Maybe you were there.

A dot in the CroWd. Hiding behind ThE glittering, snake performer with the head of a woman that was leading the carnival parade.
YOU had your hOOd up and waited for me to notice you with your hands in your pockets.
The Snake WomAn hissed. She belly danced just for you hoping to be kissed.
But you took NO notice of her. sHE was a symbol after all. A reFlection of EVIL.
You put your hood DOWN.
aND WAITED FOR ME to jump in it.
So you can take me with you, BACK to the land of the sane.
