TIME FOR CHOCOLATE is available for purchase through One Act Play Depot! A brief description:

An intoxicating evening of music, poetry, and chocolate... in pre-conquest Mexico!
Based on a fifteenth-century dialogue among nobles schooled in rhetoric and philosophy, the play pits father against son in a war of words over the power and beauty of artistic expression.

OUTREM

O OUTRO QUE VAI FALAR SOU EU
sim, ele e eu somos um
entanto somos três
na realidade, eu sou trezentos

La Otra Que Va A Hablar Soy Yo
soy mujer mientras soy hombre,
león, mono, búho, bestiario
soy pájaro de cuatrocientas voces

The other who's going to speak am I
who made this poor translation?
it unhinges
where it should most tightly seal
but this is just enough
to let a little light in
and a little air in
through the cracks
