Wetback
He packed a pair of shirts, a hat
His vocation of adventurer, six tips, seven photos
A thousand memories
He packed his desires to remain
His condition to transform himself
into the man he has dreamed of
But has not achieved
Said goodbye with a grimace disguised as a smile
And he pleaded with his God crucified on the shelf
The preservation of what is his
And he penetrated the border
However he could
If the smooth moon slips
Through whichever cornice
Without permission from anyone
Why does the wetback need
to prove with visas
that he is not from Neptune?
The wetback wants to dry himself
The wetback is wet with tears caused by nostalgia
The wetback, the undocumented
Carries a weight that the documented wouldn't carry
Even if obligated
The search for a paper turned him into a fugitive
And he isn't from here because his names doesn't appear
in the archives
Neither is he from other there (home) because he left
If the smooth moon slips
Through whichever cornice
Without permission from anyone
Why does the wetback need
to prove with visas
that he is not from Neptune?
Wetback
Your truth tastes like a lie
Your anxiety tastes like sadness
To see a freeway and dream with a road
That leads you to your home
Wetback, wet from crying so much
Knowing in another place
Waits a kiss that's been on pause
Since the day that you left
If the smooth moon slips
Through whichever cornice
Without permission from anyone
Why does the wetback need
to prove with visas
that he is not from Neptune?
If the universal visa extends
from the day we're born
and expires at death
why do they chase you, wetback
if the consul of the heavens
already gave you permission
