‘town packed with Gautemaltecos…F$#@! marching bands practicing circling the park and making the paint fall off the buildings, blowing out what’s left of the ear holes…the Mime index? playing to a crowd of none, while behind him the guy with the banzai head scarf is dashing off inscrutable japanese kanji script to waiting customers….you want you name written?  probably just script that reads ‘wasabi or tofu’….memorable gifts..poor Fidel de Cuba…has to eat his words about the way things haven’t worked out…Che, what’s left of him, is probably spinning in the small box of bones they brought out of Bolivia…
