[TRIBUTE TO BUENOS AIRES, PLAZA CENTENARIO]
The gift the city gave was
the thoughts plucked from the feathers
of her mind she thinks
she thinks, she found herself
or maybe it was
someone else’s splinters in her mind
She wishes
she wished he’d follow her
rules, rewritten and disarmed in a matter of
time, the temptress of change,
the only thing that was ever really mine
you see,
Love is my reality,
she said as his mind churned
ceaselessly I say to he
it’s not about you or me nor about
instability, owns peoples dreams
but not yours or mine
you see,
It’s all just flesh and bone to
me I am not a man
can’t you understand my case,
you make about reality whatever that
may be, we danced in another place in
time, will never be mine
you see,
Almost spoiled with sincerity
a precursor to liberty
without which there is no
truth, does not exist
unless it belongs to someone else
you see,
I guess I guess I give to you that
which is not missing, you
through and through
she said I don’t need
you better my life. you see.
