The Big House In Erie (1973) A Poem (In Spanish And English: NOW!)

I was invited to my boss' house I was young so young back then, Perhaps twenty-five; l lived in Erie, Pennsylvania, 1973 I hung around with his nephews And when I saw his big house, it Somewhat startled me: made of: Red-brick, smoothly mortared In-between: a few chimneys on Each side of the house, Victorian; It was a big, a huge house—windows Everywhere: all around, up, down; To a poor kid like me, my eyes Were mortified, they were shaken: (Hands fidgeting, legs weakening)— I had to catch my breath.

When I walked inside, my boss was Surprise, yet greeted me well, cheerful I think he noticed I felt a bit Uncomfortable (I was brought up In an extended family where two bedrooms Fitted four families); so, I smiled the best I could, looking about the house It was to me: Buckingham Palace.

When I was fifty-five Years old, yes, a quarter century plus, had Passed, I owned several big houses, one Bigger than his; And never did I once forget that big house, In Erie.

Note from the Author: While locked out of my house today, sitting in my car, in my garage, having two hours to throw to the wind until I have to pick up my wife, this big old house in Erie come to mind ((9:10 PM)) 2/23/2006. #1244

IN SPANISH Translated by: Nancy Peñaloza

La casa grande en Erie (1973)

Me invitaron a la casa de mi jefe Entonces yo era muy joven, Quizás veinticinco; yo vivía en Erie, Pensilvania, 1973 Deje pasar el tiempo con sus sobrinos Y cuando vi su gran casa, esto Un tanto me asustó: hecho de: Ladrill

o-Rojo, suavemente enfoscado Entre: algunas chimeneas en Cada lado de la casa, Victoriana; Esta era una grande, una enorme casa-ventanas Por todas partes: todo alrededor, arriba, abajo; Para un pobre muchacho como yo, mis ojos Estaban avergonzados, ellos fueron sacudidos: (Manos moviéndose nerviosamente, piernas debilitadas) - Tuve que coger mi respiración.

Cuando caminé adentro, mi jefe estaba Sorprendido, sin embargo me saludó bien, alegre Pienso que él notó que me sentía un poquito Incómodo (yo fui educado En una familia amplia donde dos dormitorios Empotraban cuatro familias); Así pues, Sonreí lo mejor Que pude, mirando la casa Esto era para mí: el Palacio De Buckingham.

Cuando yo tuve cincuenta y cinco Años de edad, sí, un cuarto de siglo más, había Pasado, yo fui dueño de varias casas enormes, uno Más grande que el de él; Y nunca jamás olvidé esa casa grande, En Erie.

Nota del autor: Mientras encerrado fuera de mi casa hoy, sentado en mi coche, en mi garaje, teniendo dos horas para lanzar al viento hasta que tenga que recoger a mi esposa, esta vieja casa grande en Erie viene a mi mente ((9:10 PM.)) de 2/23/2006. #1244
