Radio Poets 2017: Eriberto Jimenez

By Matt Martin
Published April 13, 2017 at 12:00 PM PDT

"My Side"

Eriberto Jimenez, Marshall Elementary

I am from the crowd

Where people are fearless

Where our technology is infinite

I am from the place where your dreams become reality

I am from where your fear becomes your courage

Where your hatred becomes your love

And where your sadness becomes your happiness

I am from the city where walls are built, we build bridges

I am from the city known for its lights

I am from the city known for its bridge

I am

I am

From that Mitchelle’s ice cream

Running down my chin

I am from the city of San Francisco

Where if we have pain or fear we face it together

And where my run of life began an where I will always call my home

Thursday, April 13 at 4:18pm Sunday, April 16 and 6:58pm on KALW
