(2014)
Water Beach pools and fountains Rivers creeks and waterfalls The sound The feel Floating Weightless
This world is covered in bias It’s all over you It’s all over me too This world is covered in bias It shades our words
Antes lograba tanto Metía horas Sacando lo máximo De cada minuto No he cambiado
I struggle to Keep it together Maxims and mottoes On repeat In my mind
Dime ¿Qué es su lengua materna? Ni inglés Ni español Sus padres no hablan inglés
Stubbed toe Red light Ugly words Ugly mouth To shock
The passive-aggressive Guilt trip Is a weak tool For your purpose The sensitive
¿Te duele Cuándo piques tu dedo? No Lo hago por pura diversión Lo que duele
I am unique In so many ways But while variety excites What we look for Is our common thread
A palomino gallops Beside the highway Look out the window Rides over green hills Through yellow flowers
Don’t talk down to me I am not a child! Even children Deserve respect
Escogí las palabras Más adecuadas Por lo que yo Quería decir Abrí la boca
Well-intentioned stranger Eyeing me limp through HEB Why would you ask If I stepped on a nail? How do you know
It’s not pretty When I cry People get almost as embarrassed as I
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
