De Nada

Daily writing prompt

What’s something you’d love to see in the future, but know you probably won’t live to witness?

I don’t worry about that far in the future,

The present gives me plenty to suture,

I struggle with vocabulary here and now,

Why worry about a holy cow,

Should I say de nada meaning ” no problem”,

“Of nothing”, I say while spattering guttural phlegm

” Con Gusto” would be much more pleasant,

And I wouldn’t sound like a peasant,

That’s not to say anyone tells me off,

For not sounding like a toff,

Would it be nice if everyone spoke the same,

No that really would be quite insane,

Nuances, subtilties even meaning,

To lose any of that would be demeaning,

So plodding on to meet my end,

Let’s hope uniqueness we do defend,

Let’s not all become homologous,

Because it really does not suit us.

Namaste and Thank You for Reading.🙏
