SPECIAL YOU


A CBP agent
Walked my car towards
Secondary inspection

God bless his heart
He’s was just doing
His job

How I wished
It was you
Taking me
Prisoner

Our hands
Handcuffed
To each other

I would toss
The key
To the ocean blue
Blue like your eyes

Blue like you
The most beautiful
Of the
Winged agents

There are non
Like you

You
Woman—goddess

You are
What makes
An international border
Lovely & aesthetic

CBP AGENT MATKIN


I know
I am just
A Mexican

But it doesn’t
Look good
When a
United States Agent
Spits at
A third world
Traveler

There’s no need
To threaten me

Detaining
My car
In your
Government lot
Is not the best thing
To do

The last government
That confiscated my car
Was overthrown

So please
Relax

I want to think
That it was
A mistake
From you part

Saliva is good
For healing
Your own wounds
