Mi Hermano

You say something to me
And I smile and nod my head
Not understanding a word you just said.

I say something back to you
And you smile and nod your head
Not understanding a word I just said.

For all I know
You could be my long-lost brother
Mi hermano
But I'll never know
Because I don't understand your words
All I understand is your smile
So as we "go Greyhound" on this bumpy road
All I can do is let you listen to my Si*se CD
As I write this poem
Promising to take Spanish lessons
As soon as I get home.
