PADILLA, Heberto
Lo segundo: atildado, comedido, obediente. (Haber pasado todas las pruebas deportivas.) Y finalmente andar como lo hace cada miembro: un paso al frente, y dos o tres atras:
pero siempre aplaudiendo.

Two: be discreet, correct, obedient. (Do well at sports - all of them.) And, most of all, move like all the other members: one step forward, and one or two steps back:
but never stop cheering.

Out of the Game
The poet! Kick him out!
He has no business here.
He doesn't play the game.
He never gets excited
Or speaks out clearly.
He never even sees the miracles.
The Old Bard Speaks
Don't you forget poet.
whatever the place and time
in which you make or suffer History,
there will always be a dangerous poem waiting to ambush you
