(2014)
Turkey and dressing Loud and overwhelming Opinions and food fly Green bean casserole Too much laughter
Apathy and incompetence In healthcare A fax they didn’t send Prescriptions delayed Labs to do again
A healthy pancreas Is like a transmission Seamlessly shifting gears In type 2 diabetics Wear and tear
Que te cuentan un chiste Las palabras se traducen Pero el humor no se puede Por si no lo entiendes Ríete
I will be Forever in debt To my mother Any gift Would come up short
Who’s the best? Ask my Daddy He’ll tell you Enthusiastically He always sees
How can I write how I feel When what I feel is nothing? How can I tell you what I need, What is wrong? When what is wrong
Mis manchas de Bambi Manchas blancas Cubren mi cuerpo La gente se queda mirando Pero no les da asco
Filler words Put me to sleep Added to cushion Take away my pillow Blunt words to wake up
Well-intentioned stranger Eyeing me limp through HEB Why would you ask If I stepped on a nail? How do you know
I am unique In so many ways But while variety excites What we look for Is our common thread
Tomorrow Has not yet come It’s promises yet to be broken Tomorrow Is bigger
Blonde eyes To match her hair Life is mean She counts her blessings Hopes for the best
Manos fuertes No me sueltan De la cama Yo les digo Me tengo que ir
Algunos me gusta compartir Calientitos Justo cuando salgan del horno Que no se enfríe Por eso lo escribí
