PEDRO AL RATÓN


Apóstol de ratones
Percusor de los basureros
Cenícero infrahumano

Ladrón contaminado
Agente de los
Desperdicios óleos

Embajador de
Perros zarnosos

Descendiente del padre
De la mentira

Paternidad corroída
Erosión de la felicidad
Lingüista de lo profano

Sucursal de bacterias
Y de baterías robadas

Aberración del
Calentamiento global

¡Ratón de ratones!
¡Sultán de vulgares!

Hacedor nocturno
Dormilón matutino

Representante
De la inmundicia
En la tierra

Falsificador
De la existencia
Razón de lo malo
Antítesis de lo bueno

Blanco cercano
De matiz prieto

SERRATO


Soft voice
Pretty & petite
As you walked
With me
I was tempted
To hold your hand
You are so
Beautifully real

CHANGE


She looked at him
The last he remembered
Her eyes
Were green

Or blue
Or turquoise
Or emerald
Or aqua
Or some
Of those colors

But that night
Her eyes were red

And he could
See the reflections
Of candles
On her pupils

And this made him
Uncomfortable

PROMOTION


Mr. Migra Watson
Do you really want
To move up
And work granting
And denying
God-given
Status of existence
Of permanence
Of freedom

What a heavy burden!
What a responsibility!

Can you handle
The weight
Of the American Dream
On your hands
Or your loins

Weekends off
Paid vacation
2 hummers
Inside your picket fence house
10 percent goes to the church
To help relieve
The pain in your soul
And to hope that they
Talk to God in your behalf
So He doesn’t send you
To Hell

A higher percentage
Goes to your Uncle
To avoid pain elsewhere

You will have the power
To unite families
And to divide them
To heal them
And destroy them

So consider
What you want
To do

WHAT’S A POET TO DO?

The ocean was enough
To start her up
Her engine vibrating

Her face
Was a mix
A reflection
Of sun
And water

I was a witness
To such miracle

Her machine
Was purring

She was
On the shore
Her car was
On the sand
2 ships underground

RED FACE


Fright & drunkenness
Give red faces

A red face also
Shows up
When having
A good time

A burst of laughter
Has the same effect

Contrition may give
A red face

Exertion and exercise
Give red faces

Walking does not
Provoke a red face

Running
Yes….
Definitely running
