yucatan giving outreach

every day mt goes to work
she descends from her fairytale castle
via the teleferico
each morning she gazes down on the antelope and shoe people
each grazing at the undergrowth
and asks herself
what would i rather be?
an antelope or a shoe person?
and which would make the world a better place?

but before she has time to ponder too profoundly
she arrives at the terminus
of the mt private teleferico

and she thanks the bowing, scraping staff
and walks the 3 blocks to the ygo

the ygo is another universe entirely
it is staffed by retired gringos
and thrusting young go getters
hoping to outreach eachother

as the retired gringos bumble about
gently caressing their companion golden retreivers
a scratch behind the ear
a belly rub
a 'good girl'

they all look on in wonderment
as mt casts her spell
not a nasty, turning you into a salamander spell
just a calming relaxing spell
that puts them all at ease
something golden and light

then
bosh!
they snap out of their reverie
and shuffle off to their next well meaning effort

mt
unaware of her aura
proceeds dutifully to her days work
and looks at her missions for today

where to start?
1.continue writing the script for her award winning yucatec language drama series?
2.try to forget how to fly (it makes others envious, and she is thoughtful like that)
3.translate the secret mayan script from below chichen itza which explains the meaning of life and how to attain world peace

no!
these all can wait
her first task is to help these melancholy old gringos
with their sense of displacement and low self esteem

her first task of today
is to speak with them
these kindly if slightly confused refugees from the north
in her reassuring, mellifluous and precise yet natural english

the whole world can wait
today she will start small...
