Poetry of Self-Knowledge

For reading poetry so much
         and so many poets, I am not right
         if what I write is mine,
         or them ...

          My mouth is a sensitive,
          speaks up in silence...
          There are speaking mouths.
         without brain ... there are
          mouths that talk beyond
         that the speech itself ...
         Crazy mouth

          I love myself,
         I admire ... however.
         I'm not a narcissist ...
         I realize that I'm not ugly,
         nor pretty ... but
         surely I am, fantastically
          live

         My mother was
         my first room
         crib and address ...
         After that, I came to
          the world...

         This body of mine,
         I borrowed it
         in a settlement
         supermarket
         from another nursery
          world
