Red, White, and Blue Aleco Azqueta ‘24 Miami A mirror of my duality, Shards of me sparkling in the slate of Brickell And pieces scattered amongst the painted roosters of Little Havana Red, white, and blue in both my flags. America on my mind, Cuba in my blood English in my home Spanish on my abuelo’s radio I lay on the couch Sipping my Cuban c-offee Watching American football I am a seal on a beach Calling the land and ocean my home I should love baseball, But I love basketball I should love hot dogs But I love croquetas “Where are you from?” My answer should be a sentence But ends up an epic - Neither world is mine, Both worlds are mine. I am stretched like play-doh Between two ports That are only 228 miles apart Red, white, and blue in both my flags.
