I Lied When I Told Her That I Am In Alaska Poem by RIC BASTASA

to make fun of life
when you feel that you are like
inside a can
of milk
i told her by way of a joke
that i am in
Alaska...

of course she does not believe it
for all the while
she knows
that my only Alaska is no other
than the
Condensada.

But i get the point though
albeit in a manner that is subtle
that indeed i am in Alaska

that cold round can
so sweet with all the condensed
reconstituted milk
