Deambulando hacia la multitud
zigzagueando y agachándose para conseguir un buen lugar
comienza la música del Festival del Inti Raymi
mientras salta y da vueltas
Un ejército de caminantes coloridos por las calles empedradas
una bocanada de ceviche le sube por la nariz
imita a Aya Huma
agitando sus aletas
De pie y orgulloso
pisando al compás
aleteo de las aletas
golpecitos de pies palmeados
