there is a god

last night was first night I have slept through 
until the phone call from our tour master Sarba
it looks like today is the day
We go by Russian Helicopter......
$300 cheap at half the price..
 
yesterday I went to the gardens
at Durbar Patan
they are grand and decadent 
with not very much refuse 
and dead things lying around 
so quite elegant in a Himala sort of way
 
We had the most terrifying taxi ride back from Patan last night
I am sure the Russian helicopter will feel like lying on the beach in the warm sun compared to it
it was just pure terror
speed, traffic beyond belief, Hindu musics blaring, 
driver practicing his Australian accent at fever pitch,
dusk quickly becomes the night in Kathmandu
as the day becomes tomorrow
 
we survived and collapsed at the foot of the buffalo shrine  
the god of transport 
in Divine gratitude
or something like that anyway
