I look away Afraid to see Flicker of nerves In their eye A clench
I would never choose To eat a granola bar Or peanut butter crackers Though I eat them All of the time
Why can’t I choose to be somewhere in the middle? Surrounded by extremes Measure everything With a grain of salt
A palomino gallops Beside the highway Look out the window Rides over green hills Through yellow flowers
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
Yo te amo Tres palabras Que solucionen todo Para la mujer Tan complicada
An idea In my head Falls flat On paper Read it
Algunos me gusta compartir Calientitos Justo cuando salgan del horno Que no se enfríe Por eso lo escribí
A joke Lost in Translation You will Never
The whole world Aches and groans Do you feel her pain? The human in me Wants to heal mankind
If you find someone That can do it Better than you Get them on your team
To be a true artist Must they be recluses Crazy mad or sick Or even better dead Show me a healthy artist
Your pain is far away I hear it But I do not feel it Move closer Let me know you’re here to stay
I do not enjoy roller coasters I am not chicken But they say You just have to try it! So I do
