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.

Choque Corporal

Deixar de ver os corpos cariocas
tropicais
sadios e sarados e dourados
de tanto caminhar e tanta malhação e tanto sol,
e tanta boa fruta fresca e tanto bom fruto do mar,
subir um avião,
descer em Dallas
e começar a ver
gordura pastosa desabafada e desparramada pelos assentos da sala de espera do estéril aeroporto cinzento,
e ouvir 'bem-vindo,' aliás,
é um desengano
de tamanho XXXL.
