Portrait
Sergio Pinheiro Lopes
An aristocrat from the tropics,
mild of manner and educated,
albeit not formally;
who should be kept away from alcohol
not to flood unprepared ears
with harsh observations
usually best left unsaid;
excelling in the language and culture
of the forefathers, at least
four generations removed,
he walks and lives:
a fake pearl amidst real swine.
