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

A palomino gallops Beside the highway Look out the window Rides over green hills Through yellow flowers

Bags full of diapers Cars waiting in line Smell coming from the load Ashamed it was mine He noticed my insulin pump

Strong hands Hold me down To the bed I say to them I have to go

I would never choose To eat a granola bar Or peanut butter crackers Though I eat them All of the time

Traffic Irritation becomes a nightmare As the lines start to squiggle Bending in and out And the world starts its attack

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 whole world Aches and groans Do you feel her pain? The human in me Wants to heal mankind

I can feel it coming Decisions I can’t make Brain starts to freeze Fingers won’t work Sick of this disease

When the emotion comes up It feels like heartburn Like acid Clenching my throat My ears go watery

Pretty and dainty Rich girl feet Meant to be Beside the pool They don’t like to work

This world is covered in bias It’s all over you It’s all over me too This world is covered in bias It shades our words

No pido disculpas Por escribir Lo que siento Lo que llevo adentro Lo que vivo
