Here’s visual proof that we live in a diverse city. Or at least have an enlightened WMATA: the reader poetry up on Metrobuses – its in Spanish as much as English.
This little ditty came from Kiara Garcia. She’s in 4th grade at Key Elementary School, and already a poet.
While my Spanish is crap, it seems like she’s writing about the good things in life: family and food. No argument there.
But I can hear the chorus warming up to speak out against her, with many voices from Herndon. About how this is yet another erosion of “American” life. How WMATA should only have English poetry.
To quote another: can’t we all just get along?
