el viernes numero uno

clang chang clang chang
por faa-vorrr, por favor
clang chang clang chang
he is double leg amputee
butt sitting, his seat on the street
leather heels and euros dont greet
his eyes with a smile sun rise
it is night and
stars twinkle bright
when a hand
bends to understand
for a second
a man with limited motion
and begging, with daily devotion

blue eyes sparkling
i know you as human
in need of love and bread
as my own body heart head

------

cigarettes and tiendas
hats, scarfs, hookahs, leather, rebajas
Castillian flavor
cold air breath and
two euros here, another two there
where!!
is all the DI-NER-O
GO- ing...
zing zing ZER-O

------

never underestimate the energy of your smile
have you smiled lately
what are your needs, are you hungry
homeless, wifeless, sexless, restless
get out get yourself fresh air,
open those ojos for perspective
dont get mangled in the maudlin maze
(get outta dat daze)

wash yr face with cold water
go to bed hungry
dig beyond news reports
dont be trampled by fear- it can be a small steer, not a stampede
seek understanding
burn, be on fire, radiate- energy of inspiration, challenge, need and hope

where are your thoughts?
why do you run away...
seek and find (continuum) baby
hey maybe
after ramblin down tracks you'll leave the rails
and grab yr pails to build castles
with love lighting candles and stoves cooking
food from the garden, its a vegetable stew
for her, him, me and you

the land, back to the land
looking into the eyes of those we are with
being, seeing, growing, sewing, climbing and rhyming
smiles and cry whiles and silence with shouts
how about
expression
and dismantling obsessions
and truncating depressions
with self awareness and meaningful moments, friends, love
not from a shelf or a store or symmetrical and given on 14 feb
but its a web
we be connected
miraculous and minute and macro and dont mute
yourself
be
and celebrate yourself
and seek yr true name
and the raft is still not the shore and the shore is not the end and the bend takes you to...
the forest where the soil is held in place
but a veces life is a race to keep up
with the red queen, but elusive, she's a fleeing-fiend
world sped up too fast, it rushes, rushed past
and gets hushed up unjustly and vast
people go without voices to sing below their steeple
but their crosses are so high
and Christ, they believed was nigh
but when they took their last sigh
what was their thought
what is your thought

i choke on disparities, comparisons, inadequacies, dreams deferred
long distance loves, rock tumbled blocked channels, words and steps
spoken and silenced- stepped and shyed

looking at him, i smiled
it was you
and the architecture and crosses and blood baths and smoke and need
for love, grace, peace, hope and belief in you and i
formed a smile

a coin for blue eyes and
euros to buys a gift
and a conversation to uplift

the smile

words and steps

zanmi zanmi
