August (Free verse) by Muffinly
Now I'm hydrated
One foot in front of the other
To the corner store
In Tenancingo
I see Christ the King over my right shoulder
Towering over the city
I think I will just give up on trying to empathize
A simple "Hola" will have to do
Yes I love people
But I only say so to confuse
And when no one else speaks Spanish
It's easy to do
So pull out the coffee maker, friends
We will drink to our demise
And bury our vanilla dreams
Beneath blankets of surprise
And try to fly home unaffected
Back to poem details
