chile verde smuggler #2

"When he can identify footsteps by gender.
When the words are actually connected to him."

These two lines are associated with when a man becomes a woman. Most of the lines seem to show that as a man matures and becomes more mature he becomes closer to a woman. Both in work and home a man notices things like whether the footsteps are a man or a woman, and speaks his actual feeelings. Women tend to notice things more and speak their feelings and the poem is about how men mature to be more like a woman.

"Years later, Guajardo got shot in the face. So did Hall."

The poem is about his elementary school kids, their faces, and personalities, the bullies and the bullied. But in the end it has a harsh result. This marks the blunt end to an average elementary school. The tough bullies reach their early death.
