"But, it was the loudest poem, the most magnetic. A swollen tear, a naked vein, a deep green vine with the ability to turn its head in any direfction, day or night and scream and breathe and live."
*When Juan says this about a poem he finds taped to a front door, it makes me think that the poem must be really moving. It makes me want to read the poem and understand for myself why the words are so great. The way that he describes it as so many powerfful things makes me inclined to wonder about poetry and why people write poems. The poem on the door had been written by a woman whom had been stabbed to death. She had not tried to publish or sel her poem. This is what Juan says makes the woman's poem stand out so much. The fact that it pulls you near it in order to read it without having any media or publicity to recreate the meaning of it is amazing.

"Visit Chiapas and Guatemala the hydroelectric prostitutes of this continent, where are the pimps? That is the question where are the power pimps? Or is the word energy?"
*This quote comesfromareadign all about power and how come veryone needs/wants it. People are always looking to increase themselves and raise their status level. Today it is all about power when it comes to countrie, especially in times of war. The quote mentions countries who crave power with the analogy of a prostitute. Prostitutes have cravings and usually abide by an idividual who has power over them such as a pimp. So what country acts as the pimp and develops the power over the"energy" prostitue countries in the quote?
