LOVE
You can only know
Approaching a
Black hole
That the event horizon
Is compelling
An insidious abyss
The black maw
As you fall
And then, “Catch!”
You hate her smile
No,
You love it

POPÓ
Today I lost my ****
I did; that’s all is it?
Older and bolder?
No, just lost my ****
Not bolder, just older
Not good with it
I lost my ****
This is it
I’m old

GRAY
It lands with a thud
No hello, no “can I come in?”
Depression
Come on! Buck up man!
Get that off your back!
That’s your impression?
Change the channel?
Put on a fresh shirt and smile?
It doesn’t work that way
Not for some while

REPRESENT
“A yam is a yam” said Sam
As I am who I am
And I am what I can, I said

If maybe we can
Slap it, cap it
Snap it, trap it
Then we began
The save it plan

What? I’m aghast!
S/He doesn’t have a podcast?
How do we knows
Which way s/he flows?
I like what s/he says
Should really be prez
But w/o social tweets
Who truly competes?
Tell me, tell me Facebook
Which way should I look?
Lockstep in totality
In our virtual reality

*****
I have been to the top of the hill
Thinking as a hero
I’ve crashed into the ditch
My power never lower
Mostly, in-between
Taking all as it seems
Bored Sisyphus
Doing daily things
But some moments
Define time for action
Et–hem; that time is now

BUEN DÍA
Buenos días
Hoy es sábado aquí
Hoy es domingo allí en Australia
Hoy es በማንኛውም ቀን
En el Planeta Próxima
El sol salió hace 15 minutos
No veo ¿Que?
Esta detras de las nubes
Pero sabe estas allí
¿Porque?
Se lo que se.
Sé que cada día es un milagro.
Sé que para ser amado,
Necesitas amar
Sé que soy amado porque
Te amos
