International party

Me—trapped in disguise at an International party. People of
camels, chile peppers, African garb, slanted-eyes, and chopsticks were situated as If ready for roll-call on the first day
of school. What country are you from? What's that? No name,
rank, or serial number, nor any Black, White, Red, Yellow or
Brown, but just what country. My tongue caught between my
teeth  as   If saying  my name for the first time, I forced out

ie dead just rose and was scaring the hell-out-of them.
I didn't count. I stood for a burnt-statue of Liberty charred
by Its own smoke that was crumbling into ashes blown by the
wind to spread pollution on the Earth. American—you are not
welcomed with your phony saintliness of love, brotherhood,
and war. American—that's Me—you do not know what it means
to be here.
Going to San Fransisco
1 went to San Francisco by bus. The disease-Infested bus of
people was like an animal devouring the eternal path of black
and white. The countryside was upside down and inside out in
pains of existence—uprooted trees, dilapidated houses, and
cows thrushed in the middle of billboards-hundreds and hundreds of them-all plastic bottles ol human shit caught in the
bowels of flesh and blood. Glimpses of these makes one tired
of watching Mother Earth's seeds banished. With Night—the

His feeling toward the new regime ls one of dissatisfaction.

But he doubts the honesty of
the new leaders of his country.
•They have doubled their salaries

Benevldes also mentioned that
since the Junta, nobody has Invested for new Industrial or
farming developments. There ls
more hunger existing lnthe country than ever before.
There are also anticipations
for a communist counter-revolution. During Belaunde's regime,
the Communist guerrillas'
strongholds were demolished and
the guerrillas were ln Jail, but
with the growing support of a
more socialized form of government the communists are starting
their activities again.
