Buying Bodega Sold Dreams

Not even Piñiero got his for free.

But is that what I’m doing now?

Buying the dreams

shelved in lost corners

on coffee shop stages?


No cash in my pockets,

Just my Visa.

Sorry.

Only Discover.


Discover?
The brightest, the best,

the most originally unoriginal.


Not the dreamer who can’t

put one and one together,

let alone two

with the almost-right word. The one

whose ideas

generate one-liners in the wrong place

at the right time to

buy bodega sold dreams.
