Poems for diabetics
(2015)
Escogí las palabras Más adecuadas Por lo que yo Quería decir Abrí la boca
You must commit To an outfit Where are you going? In sporty yoga pants Athletic top
Mis manchas de Bambi Manchas blancas Cubren mi cuerpo La gente se queda mirando Pero no les da asco
Well-intentioned stranger Eyeing me limp through HEB Why would you ask If I stepped on a nail? How do you know
¿Te duele Cuándo piques tu dedo? No Lo hago por pura diversión Lo que duele
Itus and Itis Crashed my party I didn’t invite them! I whisper to my sister They make my skin crawl
The passive-aggressive Guilt trip Is a weak tool For your purpose The sensitive
Strong hands Hold me down To the bed I say to them I have to go
Life is good A little luxury A cup of coffee Served with toast Consumed lazily
How do I Catch your interest? Once again I know You are bored with me
If food is poetry The flavors The smells Singing in harmony Is poetry food?
Blonde eyes To match her hair Life is mean She counts her blessings Hopes for the best
I do not enjoy roller coasters I am not chicken But they say You just have to try it! So I do
La presión atrapada Busca por donde salir Tapo mi boca Se me sale por los ojos Tapo mis ojos
How can I write how I feel When what I feel is nothing? How can I tell you what I need, What is wrong? When what is wrong
