Lost

What would've happened if I got lost?
Lost anywhere
Lost everywhere
Lost nowhere

What would've happened if I got lost
In South Africa and Chile,
In Vietnam and Brazil,
In Dubai and Costa Rica,
In Ecuador and Thailand,
In Myanmar and the Canary Islands,
In Nicaragua and Laos?

What would've happened if I got lost
In their mindness
In their kindness
In their fondness 
In their loneliness?

What would've happened if I got lost?
Would you miss me?
Would you kiss me?
Would you piss me?

What would've happened if I got lost?
Nothing much, for I am a lost baby,
A lost baby nowhere to be found
A lost baby nowhere to be drowned.

  1. Me habría perdido entre las marejadas oscuras de la vida,
    como una hojarasca pálida, moribunda, entre los horizones pardos de la lumbre de nieve.
    Nada sería lo mismo, la existencia no tendría sentido.
