(2014)
My grandfather told my father when he proposed to my mother on one condition
The passive-aggressive Guilt trip Is a weak tool For your purpose The sensitive
How do I Catch your interest? Once again I know You are bored with me
Clinical smells Polite strangers The only thing worse Than being here Is to not be able
A healthy pancreas Is like a transmission Seamlessly shifting gears In type 2 diabetics Wear and tear
Husband and wife Companions for life Mature love that deepens And mellows with time Life’s eroding winds
Some I like to share Fresh out of the oven Don’t let it get cold That’s why I wrote it Emotions in that moment
Yo te amo Tres palabras Que solucionen todo Para la mujer Tan complicada
Itus and Itis Crashed my party I didn’t invite them! I whisper to my sister They make my skin crawl
The teenage rebels All fall in line Be they hippies Goths, rockers or skaters Moving from one mould
Scratchy plaid blanket Red with yellow stripes Hot and itchy underneath Claustrophobia strikes Purple and blue prisms
Long and slender Her every movement Deliberate and graceful Composed as She listens quietly
Mis manchas de Bambi Manchas blancas Cubren mi cuerpo La gente se queda mirando Pero no les da asco
A noisy restaurant Listen Focus Beyond the dishes The music
I love to hear poetry read Rather than performed I love to hear each word Appreciated Rather than memorized
