New Translations by Andy Riverbed (from ylarivera.blogspot.com/?monks)
Knowing his Country had a Weak Legal System
Some half-wit
Asian
dude tried to save face once
so he murdered
his girlfriend
cause she accepted
his
ding-a-ling
wouldn't work right.
- Ra Gabriel
Sabiendo que su país tenia una mierda de sistema legal
Un asiático
medio
moron trato de dar carauna vez
asique mató
su novía
porque ella aceptó
que su
bichito
no funcionaba.
- Translated from English by Andy Riverbed
Easier Than Betty
Crocker's Chocolate Cake
my fingers smell like pussy (mine)
my husband is in bed (snoring)
life has become a painting by an
auto mechanic who inherited his mama's trailer
and can't keep a woman
cause he listens to Mahler instead of George Strait
and he'd rather eat garlic mashed potatoes than pussy
the painting is of a duck
the duck looks puzzled
and out of place
in the IHOP parking lot
- Misti Rainwater-Lites
Mas facíl que un bizcocho de chocolate Betty Crocker
mis dedos huelen a chocha (la mía)
mi esposo esta en la cama (roncando)
la vida se ha vuelto una pintura por un
mecaníco quien heredó el tráiler de su maí
y no puede quedarse con una mujer
porque escucha a Mahler envede de a George Strait
y prefiere comer papas majadas con ajo envede de chocha
la obra es de un pato
el pato se ve confundido
y fuera de lugar
en el estacionamineto de IHOP
