colliding into youth

A hundred times a day
     they come at me
exotic particles from
     extra dimensions
from places I can’t imagine
     where the gravity
of a mother’s laughter
     doesn’t exist
in universes
     where there are
no points of light
     no bursting celebrations
against the darkness
     but only constellations
of sorrow and bad choices
     galaxies where black holes
are the safest place to be
     far from [...]

in the mix of the mortar

There is more blood in the Pyramid at Cheops
          Than there is in the Great Wall of China.
There is more blood in the Great Wall of China
          Than there is in the Roman Coliseum.
There was lots of blood in the Roman Coliseum.
          There is more blood in the Roman Coliseum
Than there is the Panama Canal.

looking for an apple

Posted in american, latino, new, poetry, strange, writing, tagged , , , , , , on October 4, 2008 | 5 Comments »

I think the laws
of mathematics
     went awry when
     I thought this was a song.
I think I found a dozen
angels disguised as
     half-priced vegetables
     that I brought home.
I think I’m popping in
and out of existence
     more often nowadays
     when I am left alone.
I went looking
for an apple yesterday
     and came home
     thinking of this poem.

On Saving Wall Street

Posted in american, poetry, writing, tagged , , , , , , on September 26, 2008 | 3 Comments »

After Nero seized the
     burned flat lands where
          thousands of Romans
     had once lived
          he constructed
     tributes to himself
          that only his wealth
     could fund.
 
This is where the next
     emperor built the Roman Coliseum.

Larceny

for anthony, et al.
 
“Hold on”,
     I say to him
          and he stops, alarmed.
“We’ve got to report this theft”,
     I yell out loud
          and he gets defensive.
Telling me he hasn’t taken anything,
     I explain
          that someone has stolen
his books,
his pens,
his notes,
                     and everything he needs to learn.
He laughs
     believing I am joking,
          and keeps on
     walking [...]
