The retrovisor is like my portable post card
It fits what I need to see
A set of clouds so fluffy they're like candy
Where the long branches reach out fanning some green
The clouds move and the sun shines through
Making it the best to ever see
I can hold it in my hand to touch the cottony clouds
And the picture dances
To the wind of my dreams

It's nice to be a student again
To see those familiar faces
Some are big fans, others are the celebrities
and the quiet ones, they're the friends
secretly enjoying knowing who they know
The teachers, they sit back watching their little seeds
growing...
We listen
We learn
We see it all as it turns
And things, they aren't always the same
yet they never change
We face it all with an embrace
firm and sweet, just as we meet
Face it, life's great
when your a student

In a world of all things digital, it seems like society itself has hopped on the virtual bandwagon.
Conversations and social greetings have moved from the talking phone over to the texting phone where words are exchanged amidst a barrage of smiley faces and lols.
Everything seems to have improved to the standards of black and white where you use all caps to make your point, with a mixture of numbers and punctuation to show emotion, hence the name emoti-cons.
A derivative to which many grow accustomed to as their call plans involve unlimited texting just in case those un-used minutes run out. lol
Well, since it can be just so–I will remember to send out that mass text in celebration and invitation of something good or maybe just to share a little algo sweet.
What if in life there was a backspace button? And we would only be able to use it once.
A button that would simply correct a single mistake that would be erased so easily without leaving the slightest remnants of rubber behind.
For what would you use it?
Would it be for that time someone told you "I love you" in which your response was "thank you"?
Definitely don't think it would be used to erase that one time you got caught cheating on a spelling test in 3rd grade after the pretty girl two rows over decided to tell the teacher about your "notes of assistance". Somehow, that one incident helped you get more friends.
Would you use it to actually study for the SATs so that you could have gotten into the college of your choice–although if that were the case, you probably wouldn't have had all those cool friends now.
What about telling that one person how you really felt, knowing that right now would be different? For all we know, such a person thought of you just as much wondering when it was that you would make a move.
Or do you think that you would save it for later when you could "really use it"?
Then again, why would wait till later?
There is a now!

It means that the music should blast
tostones should fry to salami & eggs,
(but in reality they're called fritos
because only the Chinos from take out call 'em tostones)
El ambiente at work is very chill & relax,
lleno de relajos y a real good time
Charlas about the novela and who did what…
A competencia silenciosa is felt
it's all about whose kid is smarter
and which daughter has a better boyfriend
Yea…después llegan las 12 & you know
it's time to take a break
Gimme my arroz con carne with the habichuelas on the side
it's just the salsa that I like
"eso también se come"
my abuela would tell me,
but this picky Americana didn't want that
La comida was good & now I need a nap
A hechar una pavita and then later work
Son las 1 & until 2 it's siesta time
pull down those shades que eh a roncar
I get back to work
it's fun
till tomorrow
we'll do it all again
Ah school, the place of social beginnings and many winnings
College students return sometime soon from their winter hiatus
of which most spent it working and others vacationing
Enjoying a break from the cold weather and forgetting about books and papers
Chicas soltandose el cabello to lounge at the beach with hopes to return home superbly tanned
Yes, the fun of school =)
The glee of those halls with stories to tell
Like that hot guy from Brazil (I can only assume)
with the glasses making him look extra smart
Those papers that were stressed over now turned in
after major crunching with out a proof read
Parties resume
dancing away the stress that gets filtered out by the haze
Lunch with your friends during common hour
Chatting away to the sound of soda swishing in a cup,
napkins dispensed and plates picked up...
The happy return of school
it's so cool
oh and there is the homework too ;-)

There is a slight buzzing sound
like pop rocks on my tongue,
but in reality, it's just the fizz
The crystalline bubbles that make it to the surface only to pop
and make a sound
I raise the cup to my lips
the fizz makes my lips tingle
Single handedly I feel it
when those bubbles reach my lips
and then poof…
I feel some more & they do the same
The glass of course is a pre-cursor of this ‹Google Images›
it can hear the fizzing and disappearing
With a single pop the bubble mingle
they make me tingle
Lemon Lime Soda
