(2014)
I cannot divide My heart Into four pieces Equally Geometrically
Antes lograba tanto Metía horas Sacando lo máximo De cada minuto No he cambiado
How do I Catch your interest? Once again I know You are bored with me
The pressure inside Is building It comes out through my eyes I stop up the tears It comes out through my nose
How do you describe A man so dramatic? You can recognize him From afar with his hat Always the gentleman
Look in the mirror What is it you see? Hazel eyes above your Favorite black dress Looks clean and fresh
Uh-Oh! Cranky mood Throws a fit Over cereal Cheerios
I would never choose To eat a granola bar Or peanut butter crackers Though I eat them All of the time
I had it all In my head And then I said Words I do not know which ones
To be a true artist Must they be recluses Crazy mad or sick Or even better dead Show me a healthy artist
Filler words Put me to sleep Added to cushion Take away my pillow Blunt words to wake up
Does the world need Another book? Another poem? I add one more to the pile To be left alone
What if one day I wasn’t there for you? And you were left needing me If I wasn’t there When you woke up
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
You must commit To an outfit Where are you going? In sporty yoga pants Athletic top
