(2015)
For my beautiful nieces and nephews, who of course are the funnest kids in the whole wide world.
I know it’s for the best But it still hurts Hearing mothers complain For what I would give anything fo… My husband says no
A family trait Massage Is our vice No shame Take what
Escogí las palabras Más adecuadas Por lo que yo Quería decir Abrí la boca
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
The teenage rebels All fall in line Be they hippies Goths, rockers or skaters Moving from one mould
Hillary’s beautiful Rose Bumpy’s favorite princess My mini-me, my little lion Cute button nose Framed by red hair
Clinical smells Polite strangers The only thing worse Than being here Is to not be able
Apathy and incompetence In healthcare A fax they didn’t send Prescriptions delayed Labs to do again
I find richness In the mixture In what others disdain Young people lost Between two cultures
My body is perfect —ly spotted The white spots I tell myself Are my Bambi spots
When I think of my mom I think of malt o meal muffins When I think of my dad Memories of a child Chasing us around the circle
I crave stability Neither wandering spirit Nor home-body Yes I’d love to travel But the foundation
If I could make you smile Just once Sincerity From an appreciative heart It would make all of it worthwhile
Mis manchas de Bambi Manchas blancas Cubren mi cuerpo La gente se queda mirando Pero no les da asco
Would I rather be A younger me? More productive Stronger Would i have to give up
