(2014)
Left on a leash Is no way to live He disappeared I like to imagine He’s running in a field
If I could draw a tree In all it’s complexity Would you be impressed? If I could draw a human face It would be but a trace
Water Beach pools and fountains Rivers creeks and waterfalls The sound The feel Floating Weightless
Don’t talk down to me I am not a child! Even children Deserve respect
It’s not pretty When I cry People get almost as embarrassed as I
Most women are cooks But a man who cooks Is a chef She cooks over and over To feed the masses
We Are me and you Together Two hearts Two minds
How do I Catch your interest? Once again I know You are bored with me
I’ve known Deep inside All along My value That I matter
I love to hear poetry read Rather than performed I love to hear each word Appreciated Rather than memorized
If I could paint a man Eyes so dark they shine Brooding and stormy Til the smile breaks through If I could paint a man
I don’t expect Diabetes education For the public But chances are You know one
¿Te duele Cuándo piques tu dedo? No Lo hago por pura diversión Lo que duele
Mis manchas de Bambi Manchas blancas Cubren mi cuerpo La gente se queda mirando Pero no les da asco
Bags full of diapers Cars waiting in line Smell coming from the load Ashamed it was mine He noticed my insulin pump
