Spanglish

pues estoy creando Spanglish
bi-cultural systems
scientific lexicographical
inter-textual integrations
two expressions
existentially wired
two dominant languages
continentally abrazándose
in colloquial combate
imperio spanglish emerges
sobre territorio bi-lingual
las novelas mexicanas
mixing with radiorocknroll
immigrant/migrant
nasal mispronouncements
hip-hop, street salsa, spanish pop
standard english classroom
with computer technicalities
spanglish is literally perfect

Things We Carry on the Sea

We carry tears in our eyes: good-bye father, good-bye
       [mother
We carry soil in small bags: may home never fade in our
       [hearts
We carry carnage of mining, droughts, floods, genocides
We carry dust of our families and neighbors incinerated
       [in mushroom clouds
We carry our islands sinking under the sea We carry our hands, feet, bones, hearts and best minds
       [for a new life
We carry diplomas: medicine, engineer, nurse,
       [education, math, poetry, even if they mean
       [nothing to the other shore
We carry railroads, plantations, laundromats,
       [bodegas, taco trucks, farms, factories, nursing
       [homes, hospitals, schools, temples... built on
       [our ancestors’ backs
We carry old homes along the spine, new dreams in our
       [chests
We carry yesterday, today and tomorrow
We’re orphans of the wars forced upon us
We’re refugees of the sea rising from industrial wastes
And we carry our mother tongues
[...]
As we drift... in our rubber boats... from shore... to shore...
       [to shore...

No man is an island,
Entire of itself;
Every man is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
[...]
Any man’s death diminishes me,
Because I am involved in mankind.
