Scorpions for Breakfast: Poetry, Prose, and Other Mistakes (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798611868409)

A collection of poems and prose by Adolfo Jimenez, Scorpions for Breakfast explores relationships between men and women, men and dogs, and dogs, ducks, and squirrels. There is commentary on life, war, and heartbreak. Jimenez pours his heart out on the page, sometimes to his embarrassment, always to our benefit. Jimenez is often dark, usually playful, and never takes himself too seriously - even when dealing with serious topics.WALKSWe walk around buildings going nowhereThrough parking lotsAnd shopping malls and theme parksWe have no destination except the walk itselfWe drive to places where we can walkWe embrace the sprawlSometimes we stop and we gawk and we wish to seeI point something out to youYou point something out to meIt's nothing we haven't seen beforeWe just haven't seen it togetherPointing makes old things new experiencesWe worship at the altar of the familiarThis is our churchThis is our templeThis is our mosqueThis is the end
