by Francisco X Alarcon
my name is
Francisco like
my grandfather
and like
his grandfather's
grandfather
I'm so happy
this city is
named after
Saint Francis--
the patron saint
of all animals
here everybody
knows how to
spell my name
yo me llamo
Francisco
como mi abuelo
y como
el abuelo
de su abuelo
como me alegro
que esta ciudad
lleve el nombre
de San Francisco--
el santo patron
de los animales
aqui mi nombre
todos lo saben
escribir
