Todos nos creemos especiales

Hasta que vemos nuestro cuerpo hecho curva 

escalando una estadรญstica

Una hormiga alada no es una mariposa

Un pรกjaro

abre las alas en mi garganta pero no vuela

ยฟQuรฉ pensรณ Judas antes de sentarse a la mesa?

Me traiciono siete veces siete

Antes de las siete de la maรฑana

Todos los dispositivos tecnolรณgicos asociados a la 

servidumbre tienen voz de mujer

Y de entre todas las preguntas, 

Alexa nunca ha oรญdo 

la de si tiene madre, 

a de si quiere ser libre

Ni yo, tampoco

Copiada de Un estallido, Antologรญa de la poesรญa espaรฑola 2000-2025. Ed. Catedra

Disclosure by Camisha L. Jones

Iโ€™m sorry, could you repeat that. Iโ€™m hard of hearing.

To the cashier 

To the receptionist 

To the insistent man asking directions on the street 

Iโ€™m sorry, Iโ€™m hard of hearing. Could you repeat that?

At the business meeting 

In the writing workshop 

On the phone to make a doctorโ€™s appointment 

Iโ€™m-sorry-Iโ€™m-sorry-Iโ€™m-so-sorry-Iโ€™m-hard-for-the-hearing

Repeat. 

           Repeat. 

Hello, my name is Sorry

To full rooms of strangers 

Iโ€™m hard to hear 

I vomit apologies everywhere 

They fly on bat wings 

towards whatever sound beckons 

Iโ€™m sorry. Iโ€™m sorry. I am so, so sorry

           and repeating

                       and not hearing

Dear (again) 

I regret to inform you 

I       am

here
