Once Upon a Time

Once Upon a Time

we were born wrapped in barbed wire

with pain so barbarous and ordinary that its memory

has been repressed by all guilty participants

only to be adequately replaced with brilliant, original

and new pain; the bum on the corner of laguna ave

and echo park that covers himself up to his head

to dull the cold nights, to block the blinding

Oh, and I'm going to write my first-ever Spanish poem! Hopefully in time to read it at the Poetry/Arts night next month.
