Poem and Painting by María Tapia
I PLAYED SOCCER WITH DYLAN,
IT WAS A LOT OF WORK
HE MADE LOTS OF TRASH BEHIND HIM
WASTING PAPER, TRYING TO TELL HIS DREAMS;
DREAMS THAT DON’T COME EASILY BECAUSE HE’S ONLY 5.
IT WAS LIKE HE HAD 10 COFFEES ON THURSDAY; GUITAR CLASS,
ADAM AND ALEX WERE DANCING
WE ATE FIG BISCUITS. DYLAN SHOWED ME HOW HE PLAYS THE PIANO
HE WAS A KIND OF LAME
BUT THAT SMILE ON HIS FACE
WAS WORTH 1O MILLION DOLARS.
DYLAN HAD A CRISIS,
WE TOOK THE BUS
WE WALKED HOME
WITHOUT A SHOE
WE ATE,
WE SLEPT
