Pursuing the American Dream

                                                                  

 

Dagoberto Crónico,

Beside having to suffer the constant anxiety

Of possibly being outed as an illegal immigrant,

Was afflicted with a debilitating disability:

He was three foot eight and weighed 555½ pounds,

 

Which only added to his undesirably "high" profile,

Made him the morbidly obese dwarf gorilla

In a teahouse of Mexican geisha girls.

Yet he'd eluded authorities for seventeen years,

Since being hauled across the border, in a swine transport.

 

Living on the streets, he wasn't exactly invisible.

And though his bouncer's job, at Ladeez Nite Out,

Only exacerbated his public exposure,

He seemed to lead a charmed existence...

Charmed, that is, until, beneath a bridge, while asleep,

 

He was eaten raw, gnawed to his alienated bones,

By a marauding pack of rapacious coyotes and bobcats

Ravaging San Diego's rabid barrios,

Deported, to the surrounding sere hills and valleys,

From Chula Vista to El Cajon, as fertilizer.
