anthropologists scratch heads
study ancient desert artifacts:
did Anasazi make music?

Coronado heard flutes
at corn grindings,
three part chants.

corn is vibration
desert is vibration
moon is vibration
galaxy is vibration
Universe is vibration.

anthropologists -
time to remove head
from computer.

.............

when in Santa Fe, New Mexico:

eat 300 tamales
drink 200 Margaritas
say "hello" to Jaime at Tia Sophia's
fart at Plaza
bushwhack through desert
talk to lizards
commune with Kokopelli
dance naked with drunk goddess
smell desert rose
offer water to cacti
sing to Meadow Lark
sleep in ancient kiva
avoid television
beware of fake Navajo jewelry
set swamp cooler to "maximum"
always choose green chilies.
