Old lady Daniela a young couple mocked her an old black mulatta "Vamos a ver"* I heard her mutter, "vamos a ver." I saw her anoint a conch shell. I saw her leave it at their door. That night, the storm clouds drew giant bolts flew down from the blackness above. Out flew her hair, out fell his teeth Flames consumed their house, yet they survived. Just barely. Old lady Daniela. Her sister became ill. She began to cough blood "I'm going to die" she said "Vamos a ver," Daniela told her, "vamos a ver." I saw Daniela anoint a conch shell I saw Daniela give it to her. Lightning struck her house, She began to heal, her illness faded, and she lived on, Just barely. Old lady Daniela I side swiped her on the freeway Just yesterday. I heard her grumble "Vamos a ver," she told me "vamos a ver." So I wonder now, Old lady Daniela, When will the the lightning strike, What will become of me? |

Thank you all for responding, Erin~ Vamos a ver means "we'll see," an old Cuban experession preceding some sort of drastic action. |
