Que le dijiste a los otros?
written by: Sergio A. Ortiz
@Saore
A mí me arropaste
con un manto hecho en retazos
de mí Little Boy Blue overol
cuando el que me tocaba era
el de “Sleeping Beauty.”
“Aquí se hace lo que yo digo,”
respondiste. Aquí los hombres
orinan parados
en los baños públicos
y las mujeres
mean sentadas.
Aquí no hay espacio
para sueños de
pequeños grupos
con ahnelos
de grandes libertades.
Yo solo quise ser yo.
