...a
time when we roasted caterpillars in tree tops.
Men
made tractors out of old cars.
Some
would say, "give me back those slippers!"
I
say, "Ding dong...the witch is dead."
Malinalli
was sold to traders who
sold
her again.
Where
even the names of the towns were hot
Cortez
bought a girl full of fire and she cooked.
Both
in Mayan and Nahuatl -
and
then in Spanish.
Together
with the Tlaxcalan
they
fried Azteca.
The
wheel was spinning stars for
the
people of Mexica.
There
were fires in tree tops too -
skies
illumined.
It
keeps turning - "and your little dog too."
"Sing
it high, sing it low...the witch is dead."
Which
witch? Watch history's perspectives
echo
elusive answers.
Just
keep skipping down the Ag brick road too
my
darling, my dream.
No
time to settle down in a _mesones_ museum.
Mausoleum
fertilizer - don't even camp there.
Bangula
eats little boys who are lazy.
Montezuma
stoned by his own penumbra.
"Chajang,
chajang, don't cry chicken
don't
cry."
And
don't be afraid if the baby wakes up.
There
are to be fires burning in the womb."
