I am a product of America's public education
and cannot order rice and beans from the corner
restaurant, fearing offense with hesitation, crooked trilling.
Yellow rice and beans. No meat. No carne, por favor. Arroz, si. Yo no hablo espanol bueno. I'm sorry my words fail.
I am literature with a blank page. I eat in silence.
I understand, comprehend, yes. Cannot speak. Silencio.
The Falls spray me as I pass over the footbridge, finding snowfall and river spit inconsequential, indiscriminate, arbitrary. New York's skyline is visible from top of mountain, the only nature remaining. Little Peru ignored by Washington. A prison adjacent to a playground,
where kickballs skim over a razor wire fence. Immediate transition from one world
to the next.
Would a senator send his own daughter to the jail's annex? What if he had not enough words to dissent?

Poetry
I'll take all my
Anger, sadness, joy, appreciation, observation
The metaphysical, the ethereal
And put it onto here.
Write black ribbons onto white paper
And unravel the sphere
Of flowing thoughts and clashing voices
The crashing of waves and the foam of the sea.
I think poetry in the shower
Poetry in my sleep
Poetry before and after I make a leap
I think poetry when I watch people dying
And when I hear children sighing
Poetry when I watch a machine
All in those monochrome films in history.
Though I feel it, I still don't know the words
Forming in my mouth but not coming out
Like tears that haven't been formed
They exist men
Literature
Lonely
A thousand loves.
A lonely sea.
Swamped by herself,
A lonely me.
Morn after morn,
My burden weighs.
Despite all
My affectionate displays.
During the day,
I'll try and try.
Throughout the night,
These blue eyes just cry.
Despite my hints.
Despite my words.
Offenses and shortcomings
Is all that I have heard.
My luck is not changing,
I've been lost at sea.
My ocean is lonliness,
Please come find me.
