El Cardboard
In the absence of a Marxian science
I know why women are wearing peach
And the average height of a door. I know
Words in Spanish and types of soft wood.
I have seen a man with his neck stained
Blueberry and his younger brother. I know
The reasons provided for traffic accidents
At junctions and how people sit on chairs.
I have seen videos of murder and mayhem
Done by famous Americans. I have counted
Pebbles on a beach out of boredom. I know
The names of the main apostles and words
That once made a woman gasp. But I do not
Know history one second. And I cannot even
Imagine an alternative to the modern way
Of describing things. I suspect that my wife
Has taken a lover. But I could easily be lying.
One of my Spanish words means cardboard.
