A white horizontal poster with a colorful mosaic at the top features a poem titled Communication, by Alicia Partnoy

Communication

I am talking to you about poetry
and you say
when do we eat.
The worst of it is
I'm hungry too.


Comunicación

Yo te hablo de poesía
y vos me preguntás
a qué hora comemos.
Lo peor es que
yo también tengo hambre.
