Three minuuts is all me’ve got

Three minuuts to hold dust in my heart.

El escritor construyo su casa
en una colina con vista a la bahia’
en un pagina en blanco.
El author sella la puerta con suenos
y promesas rotas y colgo’ la cabeza
Entre las manos.
Su tristeza era pesada levantar.
Cinco dedos, uno manos
Diez’ dedos, dos manos.
Un dedos para susurrar
Dos demos para hacer un beso
Cuatro dedos firman por la paz
Ocho dedos tipo un carte de amor
Diez dedos sostien en dos manos.
?Porque usar Los dedos para cerrar el corazon?
Usa tu manos para abrir to corazon abierto!
Diez dedos, dos manos,
El cinco de manos.

--- Matamoros, Café Los Panchos
mid-1990's
The old panaderia (café y pan de dulce)
on dusty Calle Guerrero between Once y Diez
is noisy and hot.
Sipping their best café con leche
while eating my barra de pan
con rico coco tostado, I,
Americano viejo, watch Martin,
youthful mesero.
He passes among the tables.
Through the kitchen entrance,
I see another muchacho;
he is washing stacks of dishes.
The heat of this first day of May
radiates from grey cinder blocks,
reflects off the speckled tile floor,
soaks my guayabera-clad sides.
Martin, smiling, brings la cuenta.
He asks: "Hay algo mas
que podamos ofrecer?"*
[*hay algo mas que podamos
ofrecer" = is there anything else
we can offer]

COPLA DIEZ: This Bad Guy World
Bad Guys all organize – strengthen
To give lone Good Guys a bad time:
Their raison d’être
If Good Guys don’t resist – weaken
They’ll only be adding to crime:
World will regret
Envy cunning greed slander
Tools of the Bad Guys’ stock-in-trade:
Make them mighty
Should Good Guys stoop in ways similar
Bad Guys will leave their safe stockade:
Make world filthy.
