    Some adventure, some beauty, some wonder, some answers. 
As they wandered...

On me you'd tittle tattle
Too often you told me fiddle-faddle
Now you're beginning to unravel
Can't even handle
Your own battle
And are being used an example
For what happens when you pull a scandal


You told me claptrap
It's time I...

The Immigrants

By

Elton Camp

Mexican man, father of three
Feed, clothe them, would he.
But a job is not to be found.
Not in his own hometown.

To the north he will go
Jobs to get, he’s heard so.
Come here you cannot...

I live in a small pueblo where every day or so

my neighbours sweep the pavement to keep

their side of the road clean and pick up the litter


And I like Beppo the Street Sweeper in Momo

Burden

Would anyone notice if i were gone,

How long before anyone would come,

What if i just slowly became withdrawn,

This game of chess i am simply a pawn,

Is it easier for them to just ignore me,

Hola, Spain, Would You Take Florida Back?

By Elton Camp

From the time of its first sight
Florida was sure no delight
Sand and bugs and way too hot
Is just about all that place’s got

Ponce de Leon learned the...

How then by trite opinion
should foul ink print its confusion
and in the guise of truth
and the flurry of news
be a rabble of hype
for its own concocted proof

Each lie spread gourmet upon the pallet
televised splattered kaleidoscopic

Hi.
One word
Two letters
And a universal introduction, 
Hi,
Who knew such a simple word
In the world’s dictionary
Could be so,
Hard 
To actually
Speak out loud,
Hi

I could probably
List 
20 different ways
To say hi,
It doesn’t matter 
What language...

No sabemos
Cuando nos despedimos
Por que mañana
Sólo pertenece a Dios en el cielo
No sabemos
Sobre la última mirada
Sobre la última canción
Incluso si somos jóvenes y fuertes
Sobre el último baile
Sobre la flecha mortal
Donde se apunta
Simplemente no sabemos
Aunque somos...

For years they live in shadow
For years they've been mistreated
For years they've been ignored and pushed aside
Black sheep of the family
Blamed for everything
From the broken window to the last place in line
Who is to care?
Seems...

Some days I wish I could step outside myself 
Be you, someone, anyone, think different thoughts 
Ain't it strange you'll never know no one but yourself?
I'm runnin' blindfolded, seeking somethin' untaught 

Suspended within language, were...

These vain attempts at verse could not be droller.
Your stuff is less inviting than ebola
(and not as catchy).  Wordier than Emil Zola,
you haven’t got the steam to be a roller.
