Cacophony of La Paz

Cacophony of La Paz


Church bells bong and dong the hours,
Baja trucks, and buses bustle,
Barking dogs chase children chanting,
Cars with drivers ranting.
Generators.
Accelerators.
Vendors.
Mechanical music blaring.

Doors close.
Squeaks, clanks,
Gratings, grindings.
Cooing of doves and purring of pigeons ...
Then the whirrrrr-chink of bicycles
Ridden yet another mile past possible.
