(2014)
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
A noisy restaurant Listen Focus Beyond the dishes The music
Why can’t I choose to be somewhere in the middle? Surrounded by extremes Measure everything With a grain of salt
Que te cuentan un chiste Las palabras se traducen Pero el humor no se puede Por si no lo entiendes Ríete
Nothing makes people flee Like reading them poetry They value it in theory But please don’t make them read Surprise me with your verse
Water Beach pools and fountains Rivers creeks and waterfalls The sound The feel Floating Weightless
It’s not pretty When I cry People get almost as embarrassed as I
Are you ever tired Of just being you? Did you ever Want to be Someone new?
To be genius means To not follow the rules You don’t have to I wish to be smart But not self-important
Why do we love sunsets? Distinguishing fascination What other species Must stop and stare A romantic couple
The teenage rebels All fall in line Be they hippies Goths, rockers or skaters Moving from one mould
The whole world Aches and groans Do you feel her pain? The human in me Wants to heal mankind
Yo te amo Tres palabras Que solucionen todo Para la mujer Tan complicada
Dime ¿Qué es su lengua materna? Ni inglés Ni español Sus padres no hablan inglés
It’s not that I’m sad Though I am It’s not that I’m discouraged Though I am It soaks deeper
