The climate is warm
the atmosphere inviting
no one seems to be inciting violence in the ways I like,
but it’s still early,
with hours yet
to see the proper kinds of damage done.

These shores may prove to be a worthwhile place
to have planned some remote exploration
with the locals and I learning much
of one another.
I hope the days prove fruitful
and survivable.
Let us see what we shall see.
