My Honest Poem

P. Oscar Cubillos

So, you want the honest me?
The whole of me?
I’ll give you half,
and not even that:
2 feet and 10, 90 pounds.
Half Chilean:
Not completely here
Or there
2 children but,
How do I count
the one that’s not here?
Nine years, even more
Half of me’s with him
Half of me with you
Less than half mathematics
More than half musician,
In my dreams.
More than half my days here
Before, I was in Chile.
Good sense of humor,
But weir, they say
I like music, but not Chopin
Too darn romantic,
And fake.
