First time
Two kilometres.At 60 kph.And all I recall,Is the lorry that went by on my side,to scurry lizard in front.The jumping hitting the bumpers,cause the crazy speed of the sane ones.My jelly legs after a turn that wrong without breaking down.No worries, I survived.

Chase
Barking.Lightning.The paws, the ears.Cotton tail.It crosses the wire fence.Gets lost in the field.And the dogs’ chase ends.

Arreglos
Llave angular de barril de 1/2″.Latiguillo o manguera de abasto.Yo con una llave Stilson y un lago en el baño.

Epicuro
Marea que invade desde el puerto de los labios.Primero sin prisa.Después como el aire.Se posa e invade.Burbuja de cansancio.El tiempo ralentiza y la felicidad es un vaso vacío. Solo un chorrito.Un shot pequeño de whisky.Más, sería tarde de mala muerte.¿Cierto, señor Epicuro?

La mira
Pio pio mamá y pollito,un gusanito.Rasca la tierra mirando atenta.Ladea la cabeza.Me mira,¿Sabe que voy por ella?Y por la mira de la cámara,Intento capturarla.

For thistle I am
I can’t just prink my thorns,Wild flower I was born.Never in silverware,Memoirs of salty worth,I can cover all I want to be.Proper. I’ll be chasing my best dreams.You … You hate thistle and I am.Dusted and even mud spattered.Forget to try conjuring a rose out of my self.Go gardening…Somewhere else.

It hurt
Nein nein nein.A bump on the forehead.Some leaves in my hair.That branch should have fallen that way!Not on my skull,I’m already a fool.Pruning…nein nein nein.I don’t feel like doing it again.

Un dibujo
Un par de ramas y luz moteada.Con la raíz que no vi…Un porrazo entre las manzanas.

Disqualified
A hundred words? Not in toll. A story? Nibble, nibble the mice ate it away! Then the dog devoured the rodent. Everyone sighed relieved. And the contest? Remember?Not a hundred words.

Writing sets it in stone…
Stone, clay, wood, paper.No expression, No accent.Through the eyes of the reader.And their biases and substances.Maybe not in malice.Sometimes in all evil. Clauses are,Loose or tight,To convenience and lenience;Read by contract and do service. What do we know of the reading?Was it a language like English?That can’t be read as written.Was the time in it, volumetric?Greek time goes in p³ (What’s p in there?).Is it affected by 60 more unofficial places? The words you use might be common sense…Decided by whom?Do you know the same things I do?Do you leaven or perhaps,Use the word rise?What about warp and weft instead of thread?Can you play words the same way you turn…
