Edwin Tanguma Poems

I Boarded A UFO (Bussokusekika)

When I was younger
I boarded a UFO
...

It Was In San Benito (Bussokusekika)

I was a young lad
Living in Mission Texas
...

Well I Guess I Had Better

The State of CA
Is so full of s _ _ _

Ya’ll Need Not Believe (Bussokusekika)

Ya’ll Need Not Believe
A single word that I write

When did I board IT
Was it in seventy eight
...

I’ve not yet been paid
Who knows how much its up to
It was a parlay
Was I the beast at the time
...

Is it possible
In “The Shawshank Redemption”

At times I wonder
Why I was not hypnotized
On the UFO
When all of the others were
...
