"savages" of Indonesian West Papua*,
cultivate over seventy varieties of potato.
They would rather shiver with cold than wear shirts
or anything which covers their shoulders and torsos -
just like the less-cuddly Yanomami of Venezuela.
I guess that they can't bear the sensation of constriction,
which is how I feel about car seat-belts, thus earning
me seven on-the-spot fines but only one conviction.
*Papua means fuzzy-wuzzy or frizzy-haired in Malay.
