Tucked away in a swamp

A quiet hostel run by a quiet man

Who smokes a cigarette from time to time

And sticks toothpicks into a lime

Familiar faces, a family from the Lodge

An unfamilar animal as a pet

A micoleon (Google it)

Draped over my bed a mosquito net

Hot and humid, restless sleep

Happy to leave for Livingston
