Esperanza.

In the alleys when gangs of
individuals drinking unknown beverages in commercial containers
gather to watch the curvy girls passing by for tortillas.
And perfectly among that bunch of... jerks a
violent scream could be heard as if coming from the sewers:

Hey Queen, I wink my left eye at you with passion..
We name the kid Ferdy, And Hope to the song.

Why do I crawl with
froision where you walk
you don't want to believe
That my humble love is worth more
than the gold bath of your earrings.

Why did a street compliment
slip out when I saw you
you think I'm common.
Don't you enjoy that your walk
awakens in me, my burning love...
Why.. why... what? what did I say?
Why do I take off your shoe to smell it
you don't even talk to me.

You don't realize the depth of my love ou ou uo...
Oh love.. it's a feeling I get when I look at you
that pursues me and reaches me if I tell you:
My capricious... Here's your one and only, Pepe el Toro Valenzuela

I remember it was at the
high school poetry contest
I approached the microphone
like tonight, I looked at her disdainfully.
That's when I started my poem:
You loved me so much, you loved me so much,
so much you loved me, you loved me so much,
so much so much so much you loved me,
you loved me so much, idiot!!

Why do you get mad at me for talking about love
the police, for the 4 days I spent in the infirmary
and I still loved you.
Why do you despise me because I'm poor, a party animal, a drunkard, and unemployed
and why do I need money and a job
if I don't have your affections.

Why do you just see me coming
and even change sidewalks
now I realize
oh, that my love, my love
for you is not reciprocated ou ou ou ou ou...

To love like this, is like banging against walls,
I better go with the party guys
to forget that I suffer this cruel rejection
Once there and even if they tell me with jokes
that I'm hurt, when a sigh gets stuck in my throat
but with all the frenzy I'll repeat....
Damn Hope!... damn Hope...!
