He packed a couple shirts, a hat
_____
His calling as an adventurer, six tips
Seven photos, a thousand memories
_____
He packed his urge to stay
_____
His condition of becoming
The man that he dreamed of
_____
He said goodbye with a grimace disguised as a smile
_____
And begged his God crucified on the shelf
_____
For the safeguard of his loved ones
And he pierced the border
_____
If the gentle moon slides over any ledge
Because the wetback needs
_____
To prove with visas that he's not from Neptune
_____
The wetback wants to dry off
_____
The wetback is wet from the tears shed by
_____
The wetback, the undocumented one
_____
Carries the load that legally he wouldn't carry
_____
The torture of a paper has turned him into a fugitive
_____
And he's not from here because his name doesn't appear in the files
_____
Nor is he from there because he left
_____
If the gentle moon slides over any ledge
Because the wetback needs
_____
To prove with visas that he's not from Neptune
Your truth tastes like a lie
Anxiety tastes like sadness
_____
From seeing a freeway and dreaming of the path
_____
That leads to your house
_____
A kiss is waiting on pause
_____
Since the day that you left
_____
If the gentle moon slides over any ledge
Because the wetback needs
_____
To prove with visas that he's not from Neptune
_____
If the universal visa is issued
Why do they chase you, wetback
_____
If the consul of the heavens
Already gave you permission
