Here it is:
Lying on the tent sleeping bags inside a big tent on the land of Aspergia, are latin woman and I having a moment or two. She sings a song so pure and true and it goes a little like this:
(cirlce game, by Joni Mitchell)
latin women: Here is a song I want you to listen to me sing. Don’t comment while I sing it.
I listen on…
Yesterday a child came out to wonder
Caught a dragonfly inside a jar
Fearful when the sky was full of thunder
And tearful at the falling of a star
Then the child moved ten times round the seasons
Skated over ten clear frozen streams
Words like, when you’re older, must appease him
And promises of someday make his dreams
And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We’re captive on the carousel of time
We can’t return we can only look behind
From where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game
Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now
Cartwheels turn to car wheels thru the town
And they tell him,
Take your time, it won’t be long now
Till you drag your feet to slow the circles down
And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We’re captive on the carousel of time
We can’t return we can only look behind
From where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game
So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty
Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true
There’ll be new dreams, maybe better dreams and plenty
Before the last revolving year is through
And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We’re captive on the carousel of time
We can’t return, we can only look behind
From where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game
latin woman: So, what do you think? do you know that song before?
me: no, what is it supposed to mean?
latin women: its supposed to mean our lives are a circle and we do things, but in the end we live by making a new life. you get my drift…
me: still, I don’t understand.
latin woman: do I have to spell it out for you?
me: huh
latin woman: we are going to have a baby.
me: geez, my brother is getting married the next day and there are two things to celebrate, but boy I never imagined I would be a romantic person during my trip to other lands.
latin woman: its a song that was sung to me when I was little and I always loved it, though it sounds better in my native language. I learned it this way for you.
me: gee whiz, I didn’t know that. this sounds like a moment of a moment just a moment to think about everything.
Natalia purses through and kicks me inside the tent as if she is so furious with me that she has nothing more to say. The kick hurt quite a bit and left me with a bruise.
F and K were in the other tent and were scared to come out of the tent together. They had never experience Aspergia before and the Love mountain where the King and Queen live of Aspergia. Not that they are really the rulers, they just are the king and queen.
Steel pops in to the tent and sees me and latin woman lying next to each other about to give each other another kiss, but Steel bangs me on the head and tells everyone that the wedding is going to start soon.
Steel: J, your brother is getting married and your parents are waiting for you to greet the guests and your brother and his soon to be wife.
me: Steel, I thought its tomorrow night.
steel: no, they want it earlier now so that you can go back on your trip.
So, in that case as F and K heard this, they began not worrying about experiencing the rest of aspergia, and turn in to dragons once again so that we can fly over and reach our goal of the party in about 10 to 20 minutes instead of much longer hiking.
On the flight, ten minutes of coasting through the air, the dragons find themselves a unicorn flying in the air. This caught them by surprise and drifted them to the ground.
As soon as they hit ground every one on the dragons fell into the water and the dragons fell on a tree breathing fire in disgust.
this is when a potion from the water splashes over and the water gets in to the dragon’s mouths. As soon as this happens they turn back in to F and K.
F and K fall in to the water feeling pooped and drowsy and completely space out.
Apparently the water has magic powers to dragons but not to people. Duh, because dragons breath fire and the fire was put out.
Anyway, we all climb out of the water drenched. First, Latin woman and I walk up to the top of the small hill then Natalia and Steel. Lastly, F and K strut along.
Off we go to the party, and we see a huge tent this time in the middle of the field.
My brother, Sveny drives past me and Latin Women telling everyone to march into the tent. As we all go into the tent we see mom and dad, Sveny’s wife who they just said their vows and were endowed by their creator who married them.
Sveny annouces to every one that I am here and that I will be dropping him and his new wife Britannica to the land of Africa for a honeymoon as I am off to visit the lands I seek to learn about.
Sveny surprised me and I whispered to him: Sveny, are you nuts?
Sveny: No, I just want to be with my wife in another land.
me: But, aspergia has been around for us aspies live in peace from everyone else and I am the only one that can visit other lands because I have a mission from class.
Sveny: what makes you so special? you will take me and Britannica.
me: alright, but I warned you.
So, the party begins at that moment. Latin Women was suprised because there was no music because music is not played at parties only at other things.
It was speeches and readings of all sorts and famous quotes of famous aspergians.
Now here we go again for F and K. F fell in love with an aspergian at the party. K felt very jealous because he had no body. And, Steel and Natalia start kissing to spite me falling in love with latin woman.
The party ended around an hour into everyone being there. But, when it was time to leave Natalia and Steel decided to stay with the aspergians and not come along.
So, it was me, latin woman, Sveny, Britannica, F, another aspergian named Butterfly who F fell in love with, and K.
Sveny opens a door on the back of the tent and we all fall in to the land of Savannah Africa where Sveny and Britannica will stay.
We let them go and say goodbye as we head off in to the wind to the land of India.
F and K turn back in to watered down dragons trying to regain their fiery strength for a few minutes and when they do, me and Latin woman and Butterfly hop on to the dragons and the way we go.
Till next time in the land of India…
out, J
