E Juan, hungover again?
A "translation"of Augusto Al Q'adi's translation
by H. Doug Matsuoka
E Juan, hungover again?
Coffee? Shit! Gin? Again?
Then make a gin again and again
One for you one for your friend (that's me)
Just don't give me shit about bitches or that bitch that we're in
Just you and me and this tree
That makes three of us with no fucking memories
 
Smell the coffee? The gin? The burning tree?
Hear the bicycle of the newspaper boy?
That's the newspaper GIRL
Riding the probable to possible
 
She sees seas, night beaches
Flows of heart dreams
From suns and the suns
Growing under the sun that's just coming up
Like the coffee the tree and again the gin
 
E Juan, hungover again?
Just you and me the tree and the gin
Freestyling into the sun
Shaded unfadeable dancing the dance
Wording unwordable
With no memories
of the fragrance
 
...of the Red Queen...?
 
(Damn!)
