(2014)
If I could make you smile Just once Sincerity From an appreciative heart It would make all of it worthwhile
Algunos me gusta compartir Calientitos Justo cuando salgan del horno Que no se enfríe Por eso lo escribí
Apathy and incompetence In healthcare A fax they didn’t send Prescriptions delayed Labs to do again
I am a consumer Female Twenties I buy Cheap clothes and lattes
The strings that attach me To this world Ground me Yes they sometimes Keep me from flying
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
Pretty and dainty Rich girl feet Meant to be Beside the pool They don’t like to work
Left on a leash Is no way to live He disappeared I like to imagine He’s running in a field
To be a true artist Must they be recluses Crazy mad or sick Or even better dead Show me a healthy artist
I cannot divide My heart Into four pieces Equally Geometrically
Steamroller Of life Passed by Feeling down Squished
I wallow in my sadness As it pools up It has not swallowed me Who floats above its surface This surface
I crave stability Neither wandering spirit Nor home-body Yes I’d love to travel But the foundation
A palomino gallops Beside the highway Look out the window Rides over green hills Through yellow flowers
Que te cuentan un chiste Las palabras se traducen Pero el humor no se puede Por si no lo entiendes Ríete
