The moon over Rio
is upside down for someone who's only
ever given it thought from New England,
so while in Rio
I hang myself upside down
like a perching fruit bat
before it goes on its nightly
raid of Senhora de Andrade's hummingbird feeder.
I hang myself upside down
to see the moon as I'm used to it
and the blood flows to my head
accompanied by Gal Costa
and I right myself
return to my senses
and hope that the local kilo restaurant
is still serving, otherwise
it's hummingbird nectar tonight.

Só Louco is a song sung by Gal Costa and means "just crazy".
