A poem about refreshing oneself.

Absurdity poem
Based on theater of the absurd.

Changing your life is about changing the self, not the country you live in. Though I believed the latter when I discovered the Alentejo, a remote region in the heart of Portugal. Filled with history and beauty, it also harboured the mostly insane. Hans had once been a U-Boat Captain. His moustache could tango, or do the salsa. It all depended upon his mood. Having lived in Portugal for many years, he was loved and hated by many. His farm, the Quinta do California stood at the crossroads of that almost forgotten world. My love for Celia had led me there. As for the rest, it just happened.

A short story about a woman teetering on the precipice of great change, looking for the right moment to step off the edge into free fall.
