(2014)
The teenage rebels All fall in line Be they hippies Goths, rockers or skaters Moving from one mould
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
I will be Forever in debt To my mother Any gift Would come up short
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
Que te cuentan un chiste Las palabras se traducen Pero el humor no se puede Por si no lo entiendes Ríete
A conversation With a true friend Leaves your life richer Maybe with a laugh A smile on your face
I am a consumer Female Twenties I buy Cheap clothes and lattes
Uh-Oh! Cranky mood Throws a fit Over cereal Cheerios
Ask any female Love Is in the details I love you Three greatest words
I don’t expect Diabetes education For the public But chances are You know one
Antisocial tendencies Amplified by sickness I can people watch Yet I can’t people talk I am lonely
Apathy and incompetence In healthcare A fax they didn’t send Prescriptions delayed Labs to do again
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
Who’s the best? Ask my Daddy He’ll tell you Enthusiastically He always sees
I am unique In so many ways But while variety excites What we look for Is our common thread
