el paso

your streets are not streets
they are vehicle paths
your people are not people
they are vehicle drivers

i hear the boom boom of my neighbor
and my skin itches
i hear the hoarse unmelodic noises of my neighbor's dog
and my skin itches

my skin itches

i was born in this country
this country is not my home

my parents live in this city
this city is not my home

my skin itches

i speak the language
but I am not at home

my skin itches
