He entered our classroom Quietly Something in his hand A slip of paper Assigning him to English 11b English words Thick in his mouth He whispered his name, Jaime Chavez Jimmy Changa! someone mocked, Had one of them for supper Nice to know you burrito boy. Jaime Chavez smiled, And remembered. He entered our classroom Quietly Something in his hand A book Shakespeare Carefully noted In Spanish and English Jimmy Changa Someone mocked Whatcha got there? A book? You don’t need them to cut my lawn. Jaime Chavez smiled, And remembered He entered our classroom Quietly Something in his hand An award Superior achievement English 11b Jimmy Changa Someone mocked You didn’t earn that, ******* ****** **** Jaime Chavez smiled And remembered. He entered our classroom Quietly Something in his hand Full scholarship Princeton University In English Literature And something else A bumper sticker "God Bless America," Which he carefully tacked to the bulletin board My name is not Jimmy Changa. My name, is Jaime Chavez And he smiled.
