dada h!p5t3r ab5urd!5t 50ng v.2.0.
who’s really hardcore?
what the heck’s hardcore?
man, i’m just a nerd.
i’m just a nerd,
and hardcore is for the birds
‘cause dada is so absurd
just like the dodo bird,
or so goes the herd or so i’ve heard,
but i’ve never had the pleasure.
and dada will take you
wherever you dream,
and dada will give you
whatever you need.
crawl to me with your little wings.
all of the magic that you bring;
all of this joy, which is so amazing,
takes over my everything.
i love being your dada,
and dada is so absurd,
and dada is such a nerd,
and there is so much that i’d like
for you to learn to share with you
about who i really am,
and how sometimes I felt like an alien,
so i called myself po’E.T.
‘cause i might never make
any money from my poetry,
which is completely ok with me.
i don’t mind remaining
an anonymous anomaly.
and dada will take you
wherever you dream,
and dada will give you
whatever you need.
you help me remember why the world once
seemed so magical;
why i used to be excited by it all
before the loss of innocence and the fall
from childhood into accountable adults,
and you still have so much time to explore
the world;
to explore your thoughts and your inner void,
and forgive me if i set expectations and limitations
upon your imagination.
forgive me if i set limits to your imagination.
i want your little wings to help you fly;
take you away to all of the places
your heart desires.
i know you came to set the world on fire.
and dada will take you
wherever you dream,
and dada will give you
whatever you need.
y tu eres movimiento y te tienes que mover.
y tu eres movimiento y te tienes que mover.
y tu eres movimiento y te tienes que mover.

You’re so talented…it doesn’t matter if you never make any money from your poetry. Cuando uno escribe, money seems irrelevant.

So very true. I make no pretense about getting rich from writing, though it would be nice. But yeah one writes, especially poetry, because you have to let something out from deep inside, regardless of money or audience. Muchas gracias por el comentario.

Every once in a while I run across a poem that makes me instantly jealous because I didn’t write it myself. This would have been one of them, except I was too busy being in awe. Amazing.
