If you are traveling with a live child
forget canyons,
monuments
they are all genitalia anyway
which is why fathers
always take pictures
and wouldn’t Freud have a cigar
day with that
but no one is allowed
to smoke anymore
especially
after sex
because it kills
the feng shui
of the moment
and what is traveling
besides moments
where we are
where we are not meant to be
which explains
the pictures
the desire
to say to anyone
who will listen
I was here.

You traveled to the end of the world by Daniela Danz
