Not good enough

not good enough,
to share an afternoon,
sipping coffee,
relaxing on the weekend...

not good enough,
to share a meal,

served up with
mouthwatering conversation...

not good enough
to spend a winter day,
warming up,
slurping on cups of tea...

not good enough,
to stand on stage
and read poems
to the crowd
in the smoky lounge...

maybe I need some Mexicans
to "spice" up my writing...

WAIT!!!
I am a Mexican* ;)

Maybe you're
not good enough
for me.

*those lines are in reference to "Pretty White Poetry...aka PWP" a poem by Paul Martínez-Pompa....at least that's what i think the title was. Had the pleasure of hearing him read some of his poems last Wednesday.

You are good enough. I have been waiting to share a sip of coffee with ya. This suits our missing each other at Chanclita's café. Pues aver cuando.
