Summer burns me
into three shades of
believable Boricua.
Come, summer! I’m ready!
I’ve got Bad Bunny in my headphones.
The bronze on my shoulders
are like the tassled shoulder pads
of a uniform
I can only don
once a year.
A uniform of pride.
It won’t get questioned.
Once the sun has knighted me,
on both shoulders, and
my crown.
