LOVE AND DEATH IN THE AGE OF COVID-19 ISOLATION

I used to call you my Jicama Baby
Because you loved it
When I brought it for you
In a cup
Con chilito y con limon
When one could safely cross El Bravo

And getting to know you
And all the hardships you endured
Getting here from
Suffering
El Salvador

And loving you,
And you me
And our children,
Three

Jicama Baby
They're growing good and strong
The boys are noble,
Your girls, like you,
Are beautiful and true

Far from your homeland
Yet so near to us
You gave me love
Our children love...
and life

Life,
And Love
For unknown reasons,
Happen

As does Death
That took you from us
That makes us die, and makes us cry,
A little bit
In a quiet place...

When we feel 
Your empty space

I think you heard me say
When you groaned in pain softly 'fore you died:
"Por tus niños no te apures. Ellos están bien cuidados,
"Mi Jicamita, Guanaquita."
"De eso no te mortifiques, ya descansa 
Chuiquita."

We could not celebrate your life
In public
Because of a killer bug
Nor could we impart upon you
Our final kiss and hug

Descansa en paz
Mi Jicama Baby

Jicama Baby...
Mi Jicama Baby..
Until we meet again...
Goodbye

But always in our souls
You still remain alive

MaClovio is not referring to me. I want that known. El Blimp es un chantaje de primera, people. I eat my beans with chorizo and corn tortillas. And when I fart, I fart in the direction of the Blimp's house. Just look for the thick, brown cloud. A-hua! Ese guey ya no tiene importancia, como los perros vagos! Ja ja ja ja

Mexican governor claims poor people are "immune" from coronavirus
No wonder there are no reports of the virus at the southmost area - hmmmm

Anonymous said...

fortunately, the Senate proposal does not include all taxpayers. Those who file their taxes using an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) instead of a Social Security number have been left out, according to the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy. Omitting these taxpayers will exclude many of the American taxpayers who are most vulnerable in the current crisis: undocumented immigrants.
Racist republicans see you in HELL

It's Trump's fault. Everything is Trump's fault. I hate him. I hate him because he's a hater. No matter what he does we need to blame him. Let's continue whining.
