remember the first?
yeah, me neither
then there she was

¿muerto quieres misa?

what about the second?
teeming, but only nicknames
almost cute and the salmon

and then there were three

four hearts, like cows
have stomachs, all beating
and that's only el principio

september slumber before
the fifth and after six
there were no more lives

left over, seven nine
and ten not to
mention in between, the rest

all lived together
but at different times
before and after

we became neighbors and all

un day sí otro not
they all spent the night
some more than one

two stayed a while
both kept looking
at the door, the open door

the baby didn't cry
right away
it was a girl

it always starts with a girl
