Poem: “Simple Sentences for the English Speaker”

José kisses his kids goodbye

José meets his coyote

José crosses the border

 José can you see?

Can you see José?

 José dishwasher

José landscaper

José lives across from your house

José is just as afraid of you as you are of him

José is an onion

 José can you see?

Can you see José?

José cooks at the American Grill

José calls his kids every Tuesday

José, Good morning sir!

 José can you see?

Can you see José?

 José janitor

José plays loud music

José loves Janis Joplin

José Walmart

José made in Guatemala

José made in China

José made in Mexico

 José can you see?

Can you see José?

 José shovels your driveway

José calls his kids every Tuesday

José K-Mart

José has a crush on Barbie

Barbie doesn’t see José

 José can you see?

I hope you see José
