I am writing this using the new tablet. It takes getting used to, but gives the sensation of writing. I like it just because it is different. I wrote a poem, inspired by "The House on Mango Street" by Sandra Cisneros. I enjoy her words and realize poetry tells the same stories but are often not as connected in the sight of the reader.so we must tell all our story at once, making sure we explain years of hardship in ten lines. Even if we done suffer the words are judged the same.


I used to wash my car all the time
mijo playing on the dirt
the 80 Camaro looking new (er)
and now
I have a new car
and my wife
who didn't know me then
says " why don't you ever wash your car "
and I think... because he is gone
