>> And now I'll finish this segment by reading from my last book of poems
that I did two years ago, for children.
It's called Poems to dream together and this is my response
to what's going on in America right now.
I remember that when we had the, you know, the invasion of Iraq,
my neighbor took an American flag, put it on the garden.
And then, a week later, there were two American flags
and then a week later there were -- Another one, you know?
At the end, there were about four American flags.
And so I was almost tempting to have a white flag, you know?
Saying "Me rindo".
And so, the poems -- It's about peace.
About the idea of bringing back the sense of peace.
The idea that, you know, here is possible for children to imagine another way of looking.
And I was working with children in Washington DC, [? Oyster ?] Elementary,
children that are valuable children.
And so they wrote poems about how they saw themselves in the future
and this is my response to their poems.
And the poem goes Sueño para despertar.
Cuando sueño que estoy soñando, estoy apunto de despertar.
Waking dream.
When I dream I'm dreaming, I'm about to wake up.
Maybe we are ready to wake up, you know, in our dreams.
