coloring fuera de the lines

keep on sharpening those crayolas to a fine
“veo un poco silueta de un hombre”
fine tip in with all the good intention to keep
“scaramouche, scaramouche, harás el fandango?”
them oh so sharp & presentable
“truenos y relámpagos - muy, muy aterradora me”
like there’s something more than human out there with a clipboard
“galileo, galileo”
strutting their stuff along the very edge of the surface of this here big fat rock ready to
”galileo, galileo”
grade you on your ability to be a good little whatever it is that you think you are.
“galileo figaro”
as if all the good behavior in the world is gonna get you some gold stars.
“magnifico-o-o-o”
tell us again how to restructure our lives accordingly.
“yo sólo soy un pobre muchacho que nadie me ama”
tell us again how to evaluate our own behavior
“el es sólo un pobre muchacho de una familia pobre”
using all the essential goodies to create a
“repuesto él su vida de esta monstruosidad”
better us---one of which said crayola box just might approve.
“easy come, easy go---¿me dejarás ir?”
