old tongue, new ears

I've been speaking spanish to myself
more often than usual.
waking up in the morning
with arriba! as encouragement
is foggy and fresh.
I've never seen a spanish town
with spanish architecture,
(neither of which I know anything about,)
but the language is slippery and warm
and the city air is sangria.
I only know ten or so words though;
even my pronunciation is out of key.
I wonder what I would sound like to a set of
new ears?
