Te Escucho

Te escucho cuando hablas

Cada palabra que fluye de tu boca

es como una canción en mí interior

Te siento a mi vera

Con los pensamientos mas lindos que pueden pasar

Bajo un techo de estrellas y un sol de luna

te veo a ti

Tan cerca de mi...

Silencio

En el silencio de la noche

Ella piensa

"En la vida y sus porqués"

En los amores

En los desamores

Ella piensa en él

Lo mira mientras cierra sus ojos

Preguntando se, si tal vez él la puede ver

En el silencio de la noche

Ella piensa

"En la vida y sus porqués"

...

Postal

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

Nice

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

Txt

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!

What is it to be Dominican @ work?

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
