Bahía culture

The Bahía culture (500 BCE–500 CE) was a pre-Columbian culture in Ecuador.

Bahía culture originated in what is now the Manabí Province on the Pacific Coast, and spread to Bahía de Caráquez and to the Andean foothills. Their ceramic tradition is one of the first found north of the Andes.

Chirije, a seaport, was a major Bahía archaeological site discovered by Emilio Estrada in the 1950s. Merchants traded finished goods and Spondylus princeps or red spiny oyster shells south to Chile and north as far as Mexico in exchange for precious materials such as copper and gold.

    That Day

    by: Poe

    Tomorrow's coming 'round
    A hair-pin curve in the road
    She's got a run in her stocking
    And she's missing the heel of her shoe
    Got up this morning rolled out of bed
    I spilled a diet coke
    Called my mother said, "Hi"
    What I meant to say was, "Why is your life a joke?"
    Then, I went down to that ugly bar and
    I clicked my heels three times just like you said
    And I climbed that road to your empty house
    The anticipation was a turn on
    But you let me down
    'Coz, I stood on that empty street alone
    I said, "I'm ready for my close up now, Mr. Demille"
    I waited for the light, but it never shone
    Well I wonder what you do with that expensive piece of land
    That overlooks a billion years of history
    I have a sneaking suspicion, you will never understand
    Hey maybe I'll see you down by the Rocky and Bullwinkle
    And we can talk to that charlatan psychic
    And she can paint a prettier picture of your future
    'Coz that day in my life, that day in my life
    I dreamt tomorrow, had a prettier face
    I dreamt tomorrow, would have better things to say
    Than, "You look like shit, what's your problem, bitch?
    You're legs feel like sandpaper, you can't do anything right"
    'Coz that day, never should have taken place
    'Coz this day, in my life still cannot explain
    Why I listened in the first place to you?
    Oh yeah, something else
    I hope one day you call up your father
    And you have the guts to tell him, how he hurt you
    And he made you hurt another
