Scratchy plaid blanket Red with yellow stripes Hot and itchy underneath Claustrophobia strikes Purple and blue prisms

I love to hear poetry read Rather than performed I love to hear each word Appreciated Rather than memorized

Love is sincere Sincerely Wanting to connect Love makes you crazy Insanity that makes you fly

By nature high-strung But I thought I was strong If not physically, emotionally For things to roll off my back Be mature and take the high road

When the emotion comes up It feels like heartburn Like acid Clenching my throat My ears go watery

She is no longer Part of my life I’ve moved on My life is full With friends

Antes lograba tanto Metía horas Sacando lo máximo De cada minuto No he cambiado

Beautiful legs The right shape and curve Olive color without the green That tans and doesn’t burn Until you see

I would never choose To eat a granola bar Or peanut butter crackers Though I eat them All of the time

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

May sun is warm An old friend You have missed June sun Still smiles

Down to earth I am but of dust Dust particles I see floating in the air Carbon molecules
