If you I.D yourself to me

If you
I.D yourself to me
I will know your name.
If you
talk to me
i will know who you are
If you
listen i will know you care
If you
do care i will too
If you
don't care i'll still be there
Wondering who you are
and what if you were

•The difference between me

•The difference between me
and the white on the tree
Is the ants climb up me.
The xylaphone mariachis play
As the cars shudder over judderbumps
The chaotic harmony of wood over metal as they compete to
Fill the spaces left by the plaza church bells
Uneasily complementing the birds jumping like notes atop the white
based trees,
their long fanned black tails marking time with their shrills of sharps
and flats
And lastly the thrill of the trill of the traffic policepersons
whistling
The shiny Spongebob and hart balloons
And the shiny church, the Palmas in the plaza...
and the palming of blue maize tacos
A cool dusky evening, air tainted with roasting coffee
This Is the union between air
and what matters
take me back to orizaba
Where the white on the tree is me

•Keep off the grass

•Keep off the grass
The bees are courting the flowers in the tress
The ants on their daily marathon,
Eating cutting walking
The nameless winged insects too small to catalogue
Infinite numbers of them
gracefully filling the spaces
where we aré not
The finely spun spider silk
cascading between grass stalks
High as kaula lumpar
Empty shells left by flirtatious shy squirrels
All busy in their micro cosmos
Keep off the grass

•Simply said

•Simply said
I wished i were dead
After three years of hiking
Where nothing was said
Different voices and different tongues
Strolling avenidas
Climbing the villas
Parking my carcass
In my hammock on vistas
Waking up on the streets
Sleeping on beaches
Not waking up as dead
As the lone mosquito on my foot
Dengue for breakfast
it's just not for me
I climb down from the flamenco view
I stare at the citadel sky
The morning blushes to see me
And Venus quietly leaves the room
My head banging cachasa rythyms
And black beer anecdotes
And detangle my web catcher
From the cut tail of a caught kite
A paper-cut tounge now ever silent

•Leaving DF

•Leaving DF
Too flattreringly sweet to be substancial
Too deliciously tart to deny
She's simply smoke and mirrors
And Makes No reflection in my eyes
She walks like water rippling
Smiles and disarms a bomb
Her lips when they blow are crippling
My crutch my torment my sun
When she slums
She's drinking champagne
When she's high
She'll fly with you
But she'll leave you in her airey
And there's nothing you can do
there's no cage door to leave open
You can leave but not return
It's not the jump that'll kill you
But the bump that leaves you burned

Coming out of my cage and I've been doin just fine
Gotta be down because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this
It was only a kiss it was only a kiss
Now I'm falling asleep and she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke and she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed and my stomach is sick
And it's all in myhead but she's touching his chest now
He takes of her dress now let me go
Now I just can't look it's killing me
And taking control
Jealousy turning tricks into the sea
Churningthrough sick lullabyes
Choking on your alibis
But it's just a price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eagle eyes because I'm mr brightside
I'm coming outof my cage and I've been doing just fine
Gotta gottabe down because I want it all
It started out with a kiss how did it end up like this
It was only a kiss.....repeat
I never i never i never I never

Shivering street dog getting cozy mendoza cuddles from Kate
Fruit and veges at the border choclo the sniffer dog
Not mine but The fine is fine
Always disorganised, misinformed
Took a day to discover The kitchen
'no you wait, we can die!'
Romeo falls off stage
but not on his sword
Thundercats vs rugrats
Silver malecate banging the cop car being pursued down the street
Toothpaste fights & pisco sours
Lost passport and actor M.I.A
Plucking eyebrows whilst crossing The Andes
Back home to Bs As
Just another day At The office..

Beautiful Chile i am a small piece of you

Beautiful Chile i am a small piece of you
Long since removed
You aré a mountain range
And i am of the Landa of the long white cloud
Just as beauty equals mountains
So aré flat Lands to those small enough
To see the road rising before them
