Lobby #3
Teolol
Indigenous foreigner
in american museum
stares at janitors
who remind him
of aztec goddesses
codices
from guatemala
on display
in glass cases
as children
take snapshots
of lost civilizations
found in lobby #3
the tour continues
on the western wing
where northern indian figurines
of geronimo and pocahontas
speak
at the press of a button
they tell their story
of harmony and mother earth
to adults in cotton
"save the environment"
t-shirts
Teolol
stands
at odds
amidst images
displays and
artifacts
that remind him
he's a foreigner
in an american
museum
where he must
pay the six-dollar
entry fee to see
his ancestors
in lobby #3
cisar a. cruz - teolol
