On and off the road again

Imagining i'm floating again... waking up... still floating... realizing bus has hit a bump the size of a small cow... still in the air... gently knock the wind out of me as I return to the mattress... fall back asleep... repeat

No more bumps... heavenly sleep... abruptly woken up... bus is broken... grab gear... file into crowded bus 1/4 the size already half full of people... others from my bus join... stand for awhile... sit for awhile... get off the bus... get on another bus... sit for awhile... begin praying for accident... sit for awhile... repeat

Walk around town... see tiger... blink... tiger still there... notice wiremesh cage... sigh happily... stick out tongue... begin running almost immediately after tiger charges... repeat

Sit in Internet cafe... watch mosquitoes feast... try to kill them... miss... repeat
