Because of No

Luis Cuauhtemoc Berriozabal

Because of no I am not a transient.
Because of no I am not a millionaire.
No stops me from harming myself
or others. No keeps me from love
or opening my heart.
I cannot imagine a world without no.
What if is a refrain I hear in my head.

No overwhelms what if
like Big Brother, constantly
ready to put down rebellion.
Yes is dragged to a cell deep in the mind
and beaten to a pulp a thousand times.
I could live with no, but better with silence,
especially when no demands silence.
