(Meeting
random people on the street)
-¿De donde eres?
-Estados Unidos, ¿vos?
-Why, uh, are
you here?
(Week One of Introductions)
So many greetings.
Why is everyone kissing?
Did she cusp my butt?
(Argentine Micro- Agressions)
“Your expressions are
Like a Baptist. I love it.
You’re U.S. black, ¿yes?”
(First
Communion Class)
Small
children laughing
Shout “¡lo tengo, lo tengo!”
We share something now.
(Pastoral Care I)
What did she say now?
I want to understand you.
I’m sorry I can’t.
(Pastoral Care II)
Why is she crying?
They left to tell him good-bye.
I’m sorry he’s gone.
(Language Barriers)
Can we build a bridge
Over the gaps between us
Or shall we face walls?
