(2015)
Dedicated to my sister and our late night talks when this became my catchphrase.
The whole world Aches and groans Do you feel her pain? The human in me Wants to heal mankind
My poems are short Written at night In my head I wake at dawn Shake my memory
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
Itchy It has to come off Nerves Makes me pick His look
The pine trees Reach up On both sides Of the road Telling me
Pragmatic me Doesn’t like this girl You can’t depend on her Too complex to understand She cries at the worst times
Her fingernails Natural Long Pointed On fingers
Ask any female Love Is in the details I love you Three greatest words
Beautiful legs The right shape and curve Olive color without the green That tans and doesn’t burn Until you see
I told everyone About you The ugly beast Inside of me You can’t hide
¿Te duele Cuándo piques tu dedo? No Lo hago por pura diversión Lo que duele
A joke Lost in Translation You will Never
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
Traffic Irritation becomes a nightmare As the lines start to squiggle Bending in and out And the world starts its attack
My parents always say We’re proud of you I am too I got out of bed I used to get so much done
