Canto y grito mi liberación

         Dr.  Gardea: Compatriota ...


    you've travelled far,
                         old man
          in the snappy stance of youth,
    and
    el chicanismo is your chant now...

    Manuel Acosta's portrait
    of brown-power coalescing
         with black-power
    captivates your inner demon force,

    and

    you wrestle 
    seeking
           ego/id rapport 

    and
       sanity;

    do not ask of me 
       balm
           and/or
                 condiments 
    or soul indices; 

    we both exist
                 for no reason 
                              other than being
    yes,
    you too innovate

    on thematic strictures 
    for a deitical idiocy

    and

    find there is only life-
         so you live ....

                           sus duelos, 
                           mi raza, 
                           son míos ...
