anarchy, aburto, aztlan
“Cuando llegaron los primeros comerciales y Chabelo regresó para tomar un descanso, el floor manager le comentó sobre el chiquillo. Chabelo decidió platicar tantito con él. Sabía que en estos casos lo mejor era darles poquita atención y asunto resuelto. Eran escuincles que tenían problemas con la autoridad, pero apenas la autoridad los mostraba su aprobación, se quedaban mansitos y contentotes.
—Cuate—le dijo—, no te vayas a portar mal. Pórtate bien y compite, ¡tú puedes!
¡Chabelo le había hablado! ¡Le había hablado a él! No se le había acercado a nadie más. ¡Solamente a él!”

Revolution is just another neverending ticker-tape parade of closely held shares, but I still put stock in the concept of a savior.
Anarchy is a fashion statement that I wear on my sleeve.

Aztlan is a cover-up that I use to mask my disease.
