Si Y Sí

Si Y Sí

A Poem by VERONICA

If I could say yes, I would.
Si pudiera decir sí, lo diría.
If pudiera decir yes, lo diría.
Si I could say sí, I would.
Yes and if-
Sí and si-
Why-
¿Por qué?-
Is it that, in spanish, the only difference-
la diferencia unica-
Is an accent mark?
Un acento.
¿Por qué?

Author's Note

VERONICA
Don't let the Spanish throw you off. The Spanish is just repeats the line before (in Spanish).

I liked this very much - You crossed a culture line without confusing readers - you kept things simple and it worked beautifully.
