(2014)
Most women are cooks But a man who cooks Is a chef She cooks over and over To feed the masses
Scratchy plaid blanket Red with yellow stripes Hot and itchy underneath Claustrophobia strikes Purple and blue prisms
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
Manos fuertes No me sueltan De la cama Yo les digo Me tengo que ir
Antisocial tendencies Amplified by sickness I can people watch Yet I can’t people talk I am lonely
I cannot divide My heart Into four pieces Equally Geometrically
I wallow in my sadness As it pools up It has not swallowed me Who floats above its surface This surface
Husband and wife Companions for life Mature love that deepens And mellows with time Life’s eroding winds
¿Te duele Cuándo piques tu dedo? No Lo hago por pura diversión Lo que duele
Didn’t they know that people cared? That they were loved? Why didn’t someone tell them?
My grandfather told my father when he proposed to my mother on one condition
Good secret Bubbles inside Let me out Bad secret Indigestion
Bags full of diapers Cars waiting in line Smell coming from the load Ashamed it was mine He noticed my insulin pump
I struggle to Keep it together Maxims and mottoes On repeat In my mind
Some I like to share Fresh out of the oven Don’t let it get cold That’s why I wrote it Emotions in that moment
