You had a home-
made of birch and pine sap
you rode a handmade zip line-
Thru the trees
You rode on the running boards
of a '66 VW bug-
You lived in a cardboard refrigerator
box
On the outskirts of town-
your name was Garci Crespo
and you lived on a pyramid
in the jungle
You had whales
narwhals
walruses
as compatriots
Three Mayans sported
scorpion tattoos
Crude and smudgy
they laughed
In Vallodolid
In Los Muertos
You shopped for English books
and danced with iguanas
you lost your glasses
In the waves
stupid
Searched for hours
