Made With Lime

This piece is inspired by recent events which reminded me of my childhood, growing up in Haiti.

Lately, I have been drinking a lot of lemonade.
I don’t make it much anymore but it’s such a classic drink.
So simple:
Lemons, water, and sugar.
People can get creative with it 
At work 
We have one called pineapple pomegranate lemonade,
A couple days ago at Wendy’s I had a blueberry pomegranate one
Yesterday, pineapple mango 
But the best lemonade I’ve had is apparently not lemonade at all
It’s Jis Sitwon:
Limes, brown sugar, bagged water, ice.
With the sun shining on our heads and sweat dripping down our bodies,
the vendor, the glue of La Ville, uses a pik and chips away
at the melting ice in his beat up cart.
A lime is rubbed around the rim of a stainless steel cup for sanitation,
I look back into the sun questioning its existence
So, I don’t where he gets the water and I can’t remember him making the drink
But before me…lemonade
Or limeade.

The buzzing bees, the guepe is what makes it taste good.
