 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
