Stream of Consciousness - Poem #1 - Iguazu

$

[I wrote this in a dark chapter of my life. I had intense social anxiety and low self esteem due to cultural/language barriers being met with a lack of understanding by the locals, which is why the character speaks as he does. His name is a reference to Argentina, where I was to reside indefinitely]

Me want to dance
Eat food with hands
Iguazu can't
He no get chance

Long time ago
Iguazu small
Wear smartie cloth
He no have flaw

Iguazu work
Hand into bone
Me work too hard
Spend time alone

Big man come say
Me cannot stay
No time to play
Me sent away

Iguazu know
Make big mistake
Iguazu had
But no eat cake

It now too late
He always wait
Spend time with fate
Iguazu hate

Iguazu carry world around
Iguazu feet not firm on ground

If Iguazu fall
No bounce like ball
Leave little scrawl
Me end it all

Pain too hard without his crutch
Iguazu not miss weight that much

If Iguazu fall
Iguazu falls
If Iguazu fall
Iguazu falls
