(2014)
To be genius means To not follow the rules You don’t have to I wish to be smart But not self-important
Escogí las palabras Más adecuadas Por lo que yo Quería decir Abrí la boca
Are you ever tired Of just being you? Did you ever Want to be Someone new?
Long and slender Her every movement Deliberate and graceful Composed as She listens quietly
If food is poetry The flavors The smells Singing in harmony Is poetry food?
Who’s the best? Ask my Daddy He’ll tell you Enthusiastically He always sees
Antes lograba tanto Metía horas Sacando lo máximo De cada minuto No he cambiado
My poems are short Written at night In my head I wake at dawn Shake my memory
Why can’t I choose to be somewhere in the middle? Surrounded by extremes Measure everything With a grain of salt
Algunos me gusta compartir Calientitos Justo cuando salgan del horno Que no se enfríe Por eso lo escribí
Who am I? I am me When did I Become me? As I recall
Does it hurt? When you prick your finger No I do this just for fun Our fingers lose feeling
Manos fuertes No me sueltan De la cama Yo les digo Me tengo que ir
Your pain is far away I hear it But I do not feel it Move closer Let me know you’re here to stay
¿Te fue mal el día? Me va mal también a mi Dos vidas entretejidas Irrevocablemente Te cargo a ti encima
