class="dark-link perm_post"> kushuhudia kila mtu isipokuwa wale jerks kule katika Doria ya Mpaka - I'm gonna kuchoma wale guys. Kwa sababu niliamini tu walikuwa watu wabaya. Na walijua. Walijua hilo kabla sijaingia mlangoni, na walifanya maisha yangu kuwa magumu sana. Walijishughulisha na uimbaji wa kiibada kwa shauku. Na sikujua kilichokuwa kikiendelea; Ninatambua sasa, a) iliwafurahisha sana, lakini b) walitaka kuona nilikuwa mtu wa aina gani.</p><p> Na wakala msimamizi wa Kituo cha Welton, Kenny Smith, mwanamume mrembo, mkongwe wa miaka 30 wa Doria ya Mpakani, walipokuwa wakinila nikiwa hai, wakining'oa mishipa yangu kwenye mifupa yangu, akatoka nje, na akasema, “Ni nini kinaendelea?” Walisema, “Mjinga huyu anaandika kitabu hiki kuhusu…” Naye akanitazama tu, na hiyo ndiyo ninaita neema. Sijui nini kingine cha kuiita. Lakini wakati huu ulikuja, wakati macho yake yalipoelekezwa na akanitazama, na akasema, "Nilituma uokoaji. Nilimtuma yule banzai kubwa kukimbia."</p><p> Na wakati huo, bila kujua, maisha yangu yalibadilika. Naye akanikaribisha ndani, na akaanza kunifundisha. Na akanitoa nje na kunionyesha nini maana ya kufuatilia watu na jinsi ya kujua ni saa ngapi asubuhi mtu alipita. Ilikuwa ya ajabu. Nikagundua, huyu jamaa alikuwa na Ph.D. katika uchafu, nasema katika kitabu, kwa sababu angeweza kusoma kipande cha uchafu kama sisi kusoma shairi katika darasa lit; basi alikuwa akisema mambo ambayo yalikuwa yananiumiza akili.</p><p> Na ikaja wakati huu - wakati wa mabadiliko, kwangu, alikuwa amesimama kwenye Barabara kuu ya Ibilisi pamoja naye. Na hakuna kitu hapo. Hakuna uzio. Hakuna waya wenye miba. Ni jangwa tu, kadiri unavyoweza kuona. Na kuna ishara iliyo na matundu ya risasi ndani yake inayosema, "Ukifika Marekani, tutashuka moyo sana." Hiyo ni juu yake.</p><p> [ <em>kicheko</em> ]</p><p> Na mimi nimesimama pale pamoja naye, na ananiambia - na usijali, bado nadhani wao ni waovu. Anasema, "Ninajua unachofikiria kunihusu." Nami nakumbuka nikitazama, kwa sababu ana Glock yake ya .40-caliber kwenye mkanda wake, nami nikawazia, loo, jamani. Naye akasema, “Unafikiri mimi ni jambazi mwenye jeuri.” Na nilipigwa. Sikusema, "Vema, ndio, ninasema." Nilisimama pale tu. Naye akasema, “Mimi ni mhuni wako aliyevalia mavazi ya kijeshi yenye kung’aa.” Na alianza kuzungumza juu ya maisha yake.</p><p> Na aliniambia mambo haya yote ya ajabu ambayo sikuweza kufikiria katika miaka 100: jinsi mawakala huegesha - wanaishi maili 70, maili 50 kutoka kwa kituo chochote, kwa sababu inachukua muda mrefu kuingia kwenye mchezo na kubadilisha mwanadamu uliokuwa wakati ulipoamka, kwa mwanadamu ambaye anapaswa kwenda nje sasa. Naye akasema, "Na unapaswa kuendesha gari maili 70 nyumbani, kwa sababu unapaswa kwenda nyumbani na kumpiga mtoto wako kwenye goti lako." Na aliniambia wakati mmoja - ni ng'ombe mweupe. Anasema, "Baba yangu alikuwa mfugaji. Mimi ni mfugaji. Unajua ninachofanya siku nzima? Ninawakimbiza wafugaji katika eneo hili." Alisema, “Ninajua wao ni watu wangu mwenyewe.” Na akasema, "Kazi yangu ni kuokoa raia wasio na hatia wanaokufa kifo kibaya. Kazi yangu pia ni kuwakamata raia hao hao."</p><p> <b>MS. TIPPETT:</b> Sawa, sehemu zote mbili za mlingano huo ambazo hukujua.</p><p> <b>MR. URREA:</b> Ni mtu yule yule.</p><p> <b>MS. TIPPETT:</b> Mara moja, unazungumza kuhusu jinsi kuna, katika mzunguko huu wa mambo ambayo hupata - mashtaka haya ambayo yanafanywa na mawazo ambayo yanafanywa; kwamba kuna ukosoaji kwamba walipa kodi wa Marekani wanalipia vituo vya starehe na minara ya taa ghali. Na kisha ulisema, "Si sawa. Kwa kweli, minara inajengwa, inainuliwa, inadumishwa, na kulipwa nje ya mfuko na wale waliberali wenye mioyo inayovuja damu, mawakala wa Doria ya Mipaka wenyewe."</p><p> <b>MR. URREA:</b> Wao - sawa, wao ni polisi. Kwa hiyo wao si wajinga, ni wajanja. Kwa hiyo walibuni minara ya kuokoa uhai yenye vioo vinavyong’aa vinavyoweza kuonekana kutoka umbali wa maili nyingi sana. Na zinatumia nishati ya jua. Wana kitufe cha kupiga simu. Na wana ishara isemayo, "Utakufa. Hutafika kwenye barabara kuu. Na ikiwa uko katika dhiki, bonyeza kitufe hiki. Tutakuwa hapa kabla ya nusu saa na kukuokoa." Na kwa kuwa polisi, waliwaweka katika maeneo ambayo watu wengi walitembea. Ndio, iliwapa kukamatwa zaidi, lakini ndio, iliwapa ufikiaji wa kuokoa watu. Na hiyo ilisanifiwa na kujengwa kwenye gereji na mawakala wa Doria ya Mpakani; wakatoka na kuziweka wenyewe. Na wakawalipa. Hayo ni mambo madogo.</p><p> Na alipokuwa akiniambia mambo haya yote - kengele zangu zote zililia - Chicano yangu yote, mpaka, Mexican, huria, may-not-love-Border-Patrol. Ilikuwa kama roboti katika Lost in Space - "Danger, Will Robinson. Labda asipende Doria ya Mpakani." Na sikuweza kujizuia. Naye akaniambia mambo haya kuhusu kuwa baba, kuwa mume, na watu waliokufa aliowaona, na mambo haya yote. Na nikamgeukia, na nikasema, "Kenny - Kenny, nakupenda, jamani." Na yeye tu - hakuwahi kunitazama. Aliendelea kutazama tu jangwani na kusema, “Nakupenda pia, rafiki.”</p><p> [ <em>kicheko</em> ]</p><p> Huwezije kuandika kitabu?</p><p> [ <em>Muziki: “Flores y Tamales” na Calexico</em> ]</p><p> <b>MS. TIPPETT:</b> Mimi ni Krista Tippett na hii ni <em>On Being</em> . Leo nikiwa na msimulia hadithi na mwandishi mkuu Luis Alberto Urrea.</p><p> <b>MS. TIPPETT:</b> Nadhani hii ndio unayopata hapo hapo. Una uzoefu huu, umesema, kwamba wakati huo huo watu wanataka kuimarisha vikwazo, tunaonekana kutaka kuviondoa, na hii inatufanya tuwe wazimu kidogo. Ulisema, "Tungependa kuweza kuzungumza sisi kwa sisi. Tunakumbukana."</p><p> <b>MR. URREA:</b> Hufikirii?</p><p> <b>MS. TIPPETT:</b> Nafikiri, lakini kuna kitu kuhusu mtu kama wewe kuandika hivyo, na nikaisoma, na najua ni kweli.</p><p> <b>MR. URREA:</b> Nadhani ni kweli, na nadhani kuna hekima nyingi ambayo inaweza kupatikana kutoka pande zote mbili za njia, ikiwa tuko tayari kuisikiliza. Na ninakubali, mara nyingi, mimi ni kama, "Je, unatania?" Ninatazama MSNBC kila usiku, nikisema, "Je, unanitania?"</p><p> [ <em>kicheko</em> ]</p><p> Lakini bado niko tayari kusikiliza. [ <em>anacheka</em> ]</p><p> <b>MS. TIPPETT:</b> Sawa, hebu tuwe na maswali kadhaa.</p><p> <b>MJUMBE WA HADIRA 1:</b> Je, tunawezaje kuunda huruma na upendo kuchukua nafasi ya hofu na chuki?</p><p> <b>MR. URREA:</b> Ooh. [ <em>kicheko</em> ] Nafikiri tu, nikishuhudia, nikiweka mbali hicho kidole chenye ncha na maneno hayo ya kejeli. Ni ngumu sana. Tena, hatari ni kuzungumza juu ya mwanadamu. Hiyo ni hatari. Unamaanisha nini, kuna watu wa ajabu sana katika "dini hiyo"? Unamaanisha nini, kuna watu wa ajabu sana ambao nitawapenda, wakifanya "ujinsia huo"? Vipi kuhusu "upigaji kura huo"? Nadhani nini? Kila mtu ana ndoto. Kila mtu ana watu anaowapenda. Kila mtu ana maumivu.</p><p> Na kwangu mimi, moja wapo ya mambo makuu ambayo huambatana nami kila wakati ni kutembea kwenye dampo la taka la Tijuana na kuifanya kuwa ulimwengu wangu kwa miaka. Ongea juu ya hofu na chuki. Bado nakumbuka mwanamke mmoja kwenye jalala akinikumbatia. Kulikuwa na kundi la wamishenari, na wote walinikumbatia, na “Loo, Luis, Luis, Luis.” Na akasema, "Unajua kwanini ninampenda Luis?" Na wao ni kama, "Kwa nini?" "Yeye hatuogopi." Na nikasema, "Ah, ndio, mtu." Na yeye ni kama, "Hajali kama nina chawa." Na nikasema, "Je!?"</p><p> [ <em>kicheko</em> ]</p><p> Kwa hivyo nadhani lazima uwe tayari kuweka maisha yako - sio pesa zako tu, lakini maisha yako ambapo mdomo wako uko. Nilikuwa na mpango kidogo na Mungu. Nilikuwa kama, "Nitafanya hivi ikiwa sitapata chawa, sawa?"</p><p> [ <em>kicheko</em> ]</p><p> <b>Watazamaji MJUMBE 2:</b> Haya ni maswali mawili. Unaweza kujibu aidha, zote mbili. Ni jambo gani gumu zaidi kuhusu hadhira isiyo ya Kilatino? Unapowasilisha kazi yako kuelekea Kaskazini, ni nini unapaswa kufanya tofauti ukilinganisha na Los Angeles, San Antonio, au hata Chicago?</p><p> <b>MR. URREA:</b> Sio jambo la mbwa. Ni ajabu kabisa. Hakuna kitu - hakika, huko San Antonio tunazungumza Kihispania zaidi. Lakini zaidi ya hayo, hapana. Hawa ni wasomaji. Watu ni wasomaji; wanataka kujua mambo, au hawangesoma. Kwa hivyo hapana, nahisi - tuna kifungu hiki kwa Kihispania, "en familia." Uko “katika familia yako” kila mahali ninapoenda, kwa sababu watu ni wenye fadhili.</p><p> [ <em>makofi</em> ]</p><p> <b>MS. TIPPETT:</b> Kwa hivyo ikiwa "sisi" sio sufuria inayoyeyuka, ni nini tunachoendelea kuelekea? Tumaini lako lingekuwa nini, ndoto yako, ambayo tunabadilika kuwa?</p><p> <b>MR. URREA:</b> Oh, gosh - <em>Safari ya Nyota</em> .</p><p> [ <em>makofi</em> ]</p><p> Tutakuwa na utamaduni, labda, ambapo kuna aina ya shirikisho la sayari. Kuna ubaya gani kumuona mgeni gizani na yule mgeni akuinue tu mkono ili akupungie salamu na asikupige? Kuna ubaya gani hapo? Na inaonekana rahisi sana kwangu, na ya kufurahisha, kuweza kuthamini utamaduni wa mtu mwingine au muziki au vyakula, au hata kusikiliza kuhusu dini yao na kusema, "Hiyo inavutia sana."</p><p> <b>MS. TIPPETT:</b> Naipenda hiyo. Kwa hivyo tunabadilika kuwa kufurahiana zaidi.</p><p> <b>MR. URREA:</b> Kweli, hiyo haingekuwa nzuri? Nadhani hakika ingekuwa - isipokuwa labda katika michezo, sivyo?</p><p> [ <em>kicheko</em> ]</p><p> <b>MS. TIPPETT:</b> Bado tunaweza kuchukiana katika michezo.</p><p> <b>MR. URREA:</b> Ndiyo, oh, kabisa.</p><p> <b>MS. TIPPETT:</b> Hiki ni kitabu kizuri cha mashairi.</p><p> <b>MR. URREA:</b> Asante.</p><p> <b>MS. TIPPETT:</b> <em>Kitabu cha Tijuana cha Wafu</em> . Na kwa hakika, shairi la kwanza humu ndani linaitwa “Ninyi Mnaotafuta Neema kutoka kwa Mungu Aliyekengeushwa.” Na ni muda mrefu sana kusoma. Lakini ninavutiwa sana na inaishia wapi. Na hata nilijiuliza, labda, ikiwa ungependa tu ukurasa huu. Lakini nataka kujua juu ya haya yote ninakupenda. Je, unaweza kusoma tu na kisha kuzungumza nami kuhusu ambapo hiyo huenda? Nini kinatokea huko?</p><p> <b>MR. URREA:</b> Vema, mstari wa kwanza wa shairi la kwanza ni, "Ninyi mnaotafuta neema kutoka kwa Mungu aliyekengeushwa," na mstari wa mwisho wa shairi la mwisho ni, "Hujasahauliwa." Kwa hivyo, katika mawazo yangu, hii ndiyo sentensi ndefu zaidi ulimwenguni. Na yote ni juu ya Mungu - au juu ya hamu yetu. Na kwa hivyo hili ni shairi ambalo lilitiwa msukumo na matamshi dhidi ya wahamiaji, na ni safari ya saa za kwanza za asubuhi ya watu wanaojaribu sana kwenda kazini. Na huu ni mwangwi wa asubuhi yangu mwenyewe, nikichukua mabasi mengi kwenda kwenye kazi nyingi mbaya. Na kwa hivyo umesimama katikati mwa jiji.</p><p> <b>MS. TIPPETT:</b> Unaweza kuanza mapema, au popote unapotaka.</p><p> <b>MR. URREA:</b> Nitapata mahali, kwa hivyo inaleta maana. Na unasimama na watu wote pale.</p><p> "Ukiwa na uchovu unatembea kimya, ukihesabu dhambi zako nyingi, / kwenye uwanja, simama / katika msiba wa familia yako - watoto hawa wanaoelekea shule ya biashara, / mtu wa kiti cha magurudumu, mwanamke na gari lake la ununuzi, / mshikaji anayetikisa kichwa na machozi ya bluu kwenye shavu lake, paisanos / y borrachos, Ticos, Boricuas, Apas, Xicanosura, Mayas, / cholo kilichochorwa Samurai na kuegemea nyuma, / kunyamaza anapokutazama / na unataka, una / unataka, unapasuka nayo, / unawaka nayo, wewe / ambao huna maneno / unataka kushika mashavu yao mikononi mwako, / unataka kushikilia nyuso zao kati ya viganja vyako, sema tu - / sema: // Nakupenda nakupenda.</p><p> [ <em>makofi</em> ]</p><p> Kwa kiasi, ni vigumu sana kusema "nakupenda" sana, kwa watu, nadhani - bila shaka, kwa hadhira. Inafurahisha - inafurahisha kuchagua hiyo, kwa sababu ndivyo walivyoanzisha ballet. Walinifanya niseme hivi kwa wageni hawa wote. Na mara nyingi, ikiwa ninahisi kustaajabisha sana, nitaonyesha ishara kwa kila sehemu ya hadhira ninapoifanya, kwa sababu ninataka iwe aina ya baraka za kipagani, kwa namna fulani.</p><p> [ <em>kicheko</em> ]</p><p> Lakini ndio, unataka kusema. Sote tunataka kusema. Lakini hatuwezi. Na mimi hushughulika na watoto wengi ambao hawawezi kusimulia hadithi zao, na hawafikirii mtu yeyote anawapenda. Wanafikiri hakuna anayejali. Wanafikiri kila mtu anawachukia. Wanasubiri kutupwa nje ya nchi au mama zao kutoweka. Kwa hivyo sehemu yake ni kuzungumza na watu wanaohitaji kusema zaidi. Sehemu yake ni kujisemea mwenyewe, kusema, "Usiwe mwoga. Waambie watu unawapenda." Na sehemu yake ni kwamba, mara nyingi ninazungumza na watoto 600, sio ninyi watu wazima, na ninawaambia, "Ninawapenda. Ninawapenda nyote," kwa sababu lazima mtu afanye hivyo. Huna budi - kama ningeweza kuwa na kipindi cha redio, ningewasomea hadithi kila usiku na kuwaambia ninawapenda.</p><p> [ <em>makofi</em> ]</p><p> <b>MS. TIPPETT:</b> Hii imekuwa nzuri sana. Na nilitaka kukuuliza, tunapomaliza, ikiwa ungesoma mistari hii kutoka kwa <em>Nobody's Son</em> , ambayo ni aina ya kumbukumbu; maelezo.</p><p> <b>MR. URREA:</b> Ndio, sawa. "Maneno ndiyo mkate pekee ambao tunaweza kushiriki kwa kweli. Ninaposema 'sisi,' ninamaanisha kila mmoja wetu, kila mtu, ninyi nyote, kila wakala wa Doria ya Mpakani na kila Mmexico anayetetemeka akichungulia kwenye uzio.
