Cuando Te Vi

When I saw you
you were crying hidden in a corner of the garden
because being happy
was ten kilometers away from the daycare.
But I pampered you, lent you my pacifier, gave you my stroller.
I thought you had a grudge against me
you made me swallow all your play-doh.
Yuneisi I love you, don't act tough.
Give me a bite of your scrape.

And we get lost in intellectual mazes
to find out why we have different private parts.
We exchanged snot flows with desire,
you gave me your impetigo, I gave you my lice.

When I saw you
you had the color of chocolate
and I discovered
that my grandma was trying to segregate you.
But we played, crazy heads,
putting dirty things in our mouths:
live worms, cigarette butts,
pieces of old bread, wrapped in mud.
Yuneisi I love you, your parents scare me,
the judge separates them, and the devil brings them together.

When I saw you
the teacher carried you on her knees
and with slaps
made you swallow the horrible mush.
And we protested, we were not few,
if there's no lollipop I'll eat my boogers.
I stood up to defend you:
when I grow up I'll be a leader.
Yuneisi I love you, I don't know if you love me,
but I confess, I wet the bed.
