Public Displays of Affection, Cuban Dictatorship Edition

Posted on April 16, 2022 | Leave a comment

Díaz Canel has a wife
whose tackiness knows no bounds.
It’s not as cute as it sounds,
in the midst of Cuba‘s strife,
when she says that, in her life,
he’s “The Dictator.” For sure!
(Lis Cuesta is done with demure.)
Cubans long to live in peace.
That regime is a disease,
and we are ready for the cure.

    Mixing Memory and Desire is a blog about Cuba, literature and other chronic pains. It borrows its title from T. S. Eliot’s The Waste Land.
