¿Te duele Cuándo piques tu dedo? No Lo hago por pura diversión Lo que duele
Antisocial tendencies Amplified by sickness I can people watch Yet I can’t people talk I am lonely
My grandfather told my father when he proposed to my mother on one condition
I will be Forever in debt To my mother Any gift Would come up short
Who’s the best? Ask my Daddy He’ll tell you Enthusiastically He always sees
The human heart ...leaps and jumps ...races and sings ...sighs and groans The treacherous heart can
Look in the mirror What is it you see? Hazel eyes above your Favorite black dress Looks clean and fresh
I’m watching a woman in a bikini In great shape with a swollen bell… Play with her puppy named Gatsby A Hispanic family comes The little girl dips her feet in
He says I could never Get away with murder For I leave Pieces of me everywhere
Well-intentioned stranger Eyeing me limp through HEB Why would you ask If I stepped on a nail? How do you know
She is no longer Part of my life I’ve moved on My life is full With friends
The strings that attach me To this world Ground me Yes they sometimes Keep me from flying
My body is perfect —ly spotted The white spots I tell myself Are my Bambi spots
I look away Afraid to see Flicker of nerves In their eye A clench
My pump Constant companion Of my disease My sensor Resembles a feeding
