(2015)
I love to hear poetry read Rather than performed I love to hear each word Appreciated Rather than memorized
Algunos me gusta compartir Calientitos Justo cuando salgan del horno Que no se enfríe Por eso lo escribí
I cannot apologize For writing what I feel inside If it is hard to read It is harder to live I will understand
I need to tell you How to survive With our disposition It’s okay to cry Maybe
Life is good A little luxury A cup of coffee Served with toast Consumed lazily
Hillary’s beautiful Rose Bumpy’s favorite princess My mini-me, my little lion Cute button nose Framed by red hair
I’ve known Deep inside All along My value That I matter
You must commit To an outfit Where are you going? In sporty yoga pants Athletic top
I am unique In so many ways But while variety excites What we look for Is our common thread
My sister’s cookies Chocolate chip Got my nephew to Say her name For the first time
Dime ¿Qué es su lengua materna? Ni inglés Ni español Sus padres no hablan inglés
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
The E’s squeak by The I’s are too excited The U’s come after Q But the A’s and the O’s They flow
Stubbed toe Red light Ugly words Ugly mouth To shock
Look in the mirror What is it you see? Hazel eyes above your Favorite black dress Looks clean and fresh
