"Near the windows of La Virgen de Toledo Federation, next to the shrine for the Madonna, there is a Jimi Hendrix video game machine."

This is the modern ironic picture of the mexican tight rope. They are conflicted on whether to join modern american culture or stay with their culture. Their religious standards and ethics are represented by the shrine, while the Jimi Hendrix video game is representative of the change.

"A martial art technique that numbs your opponent's sense of color awareness.
-Hispa-ratee!"

This whole poem pokes fun at stereotypes, how it is perceived mexicans do everything differently, but when you look closer at the answer it's the same thing with 'Hispa' in the beginnning.
