CLAP HAPPY

when the plane landed
in Bogota
the people clapped
as if the pilot
had just burst out of the cabin
done a triple pirouette
and followed it up
with a double back flip
and curtsy

then, in the movie theatre
when the film finished
the clapping started
and continued
for many minutes
as if the director
actors
sound engineers
producers
costume designers
CGI techs
screenwriters
and all
were each getting up
to take a bow.

Colombians, god bless ‘em
are a very enthusiastic people
