Tsunami for Open Mouth By Edwin Torres


how come this breeze sounds like me
when I look to the East


how come this same note changes
when I turn to the West


how come the ending is easy
when I face where I've been


how come this home changes notes
when I open this mouth


how can the obsolete surface
be mystery's need


how is the unneed for clarity
the impossible need


what is If and all its patterns
when and family matters


how come anti-clarity becomes catcher
when the unknowing catcher never caught knowing


how does the unsentence know to be read
for the audience that never shows up


when did the boy magazine become
the picture not the boy


how come when I look for what I need
what I don't becomes my mirror


what is direction's intention when fabrication
is all I see


how does the obvious error
become the never seen


how come a step is always followed
by the man without beginnings grabbing for the insect that
isn't there


how does the giantness of thingness
become the mis-translated beginning


how come time starts to speak
when I turn to the North
