(2014)
You must commit To an outfit Where are you going? In sporty yoga pants Athletic top
Itus and Itis Crashed my party I didn’t invite them! I whisper to my sister They make my skin crawl
The pine trees Reach up On both sides Of the road Telling me
It’s not that I’m sad Though I am It’s not that I’m discouraged Though I am It soaks deeper
Yo te amo Tres palabras Que solucionen todo Para la mujer Tan complicada
Beside you I am At peace Our love A connection
No es solo la tristeza Aunque si lo estoy No es por el desanimo Aunque si me desanimo No es tan sencillo
Pretty and dainty Rich girl feet Meant to be Beside the pool They don’t like to work
¿Te fue mal el día? Me va mal también a mi Dos vidas entretejidas Irrevocablemente Te cargo a ti encima
I am stronger Than you think I am I am weaker Than I look
I find richness In the mixture In what others disdain Young people lost Between two cultures
La presión atrapada Busca por donde salir Tapo mi boca Se me sale por los ojos Tapo mis ojos
If food is poetry The flavors The smells Singing in harmony Is poetry food?
Traffic Irritation becomes a nightmare As the lines start to squiggle Bending in and out And the world starts its attack
Don’t talk down to me I am not a child! Even children Deserve respect
