Zelda's Inferno exercise - at the Sowebo Festival. Write a poem from a word list generated around the theme "South America": sunburn tropical tango red-dirt jungle Latino snake canal lovers sand pyramid penguins

sunburned street festival
Bmore urban jungle
on a tropical May day
every fifteen minutes I run into an old friend
not seen in months

young lovers and old freaks in the beer line
the socialists passing out literature
vendors selling books, banana bread, bracelets, bags, blouses

stand in the center of it all and hear
the music from four stages blend into an elixer
the sonic fountain of youth
