I've been swimming with the stingrays. I've been touching turtles and punching waves. I speared someone in the thigh with a bamboo spear that I made with my own hands. I am on a goddamn Island these days. I am on turtle time all of the time. All of the roads are small roads. They are not the proper size for cars--only carts. We drive the carts all over this Island because we've made this Island our bitch. We made the whole goddamn ocean our bitch. Every sea creature in the sea belongs to us now. All the sharks fear us. All the fish respect us. Hell, I even punched at the sun. This morning I took fire to bamboo wood and smeared the burning charcoal on my cheeks with my thumb. I hunted gators and gutted them for sport. I gave haircuts for free on the island and knocked over little girls' lemonade stands. You know what? I looked like a big shag wit doing cartwheels on the dunes but I wouldn't stop for anything. You know? I fooled every single poopzip on the beach with my drowning charade and took a piss in the sand as the waves came crashing down around me. All in all I'd say I've been having a pretty nice time.
