It's said
that the Spanish
were driven to distraction
allowing themselves
to believe
the stories
they encouraged
the natives to tell
about the Fountain of Youth,
feeding into
their lust
for exploring deep
into the heart
of this new world.
Or maybe
it was just someone's way
of explaining
to someone back home
why they were away
so long,
a bedtime story
in words
a child
could understand.
