I am the oldest son of the oldest daughter. The first child in the house. The Caribbean Sea is at the end of my street. We have a dog. But he is so skinny and ugly that I pretend not to know him. Vava lives at the top of the slope. She wears a yellow dress. Sometimes she makes me feel like a kite. I feel her so close. My stomach starts boiling. I am going to die. One day, I asked my grandmother to explain paradise to me. She showed me her coffee pot. Da prefers the Palmes coffee, especially because of its smell. Da drinks her coffee. I watch the ants. Time does not exist.
