If you come to Mojacar <br />and peel open an orange full of worms, <br />count how many there are because <br />those are the days it will take for your body <br />to decompose after you are buried. <br /> <br />If you come to Mojacar <br />and find a small green snake with its back <br />broken, don't step on it or you'll cause <br />an earthquake that will catch up to you <br />while you sleep in a continent far, far away. <br /> <br />If you come to Mojacar <br />and two brown long-legged spiders crawl <br />on your face and shoulders, keep a sharp eye <br />out for two individuals, a mother-son, or <br />sister-sister who will try to take your money. <br /> <br />If you come to Mojacar <br />and see a scorpion scurry by your feet, <br />note the direction it ran to, north, south, <br />east, or west. You must avoid going there <br />or risk the sting of losing a loved one. <br /> <br />If you come to Mojacar <br />and a cock crows ten times at three <br />in the morning, lock your door and all <br />the wooden windows because nightmares in silver <br />dresses will arrive to slip into your bed.<br /><br />Nick Carbo<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/mal-agueros/
