Everyone looks for wisdom
Few truly find
Sophia in the twilight
But only from behind

Melville has his Whale
Stockholm has the sea
She has my boys
I have only me

Guadalupe across the streets
My friends paint and cut
Tacos vegetarianos
Loneliness but

Haven't given up yet
I wait. Obscurity.
Train tracks. Graveyard.
I walk silently

           Absurd? Si.
