- W2066320193 abstract "The Word Pachuco I learned the word pachuco my first week at Tucson High when Tim Acosta burst into homeroom, yanked me by the collar, right out of my desk, smacked me against the wall, and growled, I hear you're gonna beat the shit out of me. I stammered, never said that, and he flung me across the desk and stomped out. A year later my friends and I baptized ourselves The Chasers. Nobody messed with us, not Tim Acosta, nobody. Every morning we leaned against the wall, slightly lifting our chins as friends passed by. One day six Mexicans jumped an Anglo. We joined in his defense, Mexicans against Mexicans. Next day The Chronicle reported: race war ravages Tucson High. Mango and Tango In kindergarten I told nobody I spoke English with Mom, español con Papá, but in first grade [End Page 108] my secret tongue bulged out and blurted that two words in a song hurt my ears. My teacher made me stand and repeat mango and tango until my face was ruptured and scarlet. She phoned my parents and said that two languages would burst my brains, so I bit my tongue and watched the Spanish words bleed away. Boy of Six Muddy slush, I love you muddy water. After a rain, the big kids swirl around me and taunt, Mexican, Mexican boy. Then my nightmare lizard waddles its icicle snout over the crescent moon. Speaking English, Mom and I laugh at the elephants in the zoo. That afternoon I sit on Papá's lap and tell him, Ví el ele-, ele- cannot find the word, elefante, blurt elephant, and bolt. This moment I forget Spanish. [End Page 109] Muddy slush, muddy water. I'm afraid to go in the night room and turn on the lamp. Mom and dad slam the door of their bedroom, I know their plot to poison me, refuse to eat the crackers and milk on the table by my bed." @default.
