Mundo Cruel
you here and they stick their nose in your business. I mean you, well educated and all, should blow this place. Man, I see things, and I know people, the ones who stand on corners and fuck with you. Junito this, Junito that. Just the day before yesterday, some jerk there at the rotary was talking shit about you and I said to him, bro, leave him alone, he hasn’t done nothing to you, and then they started fucking with me, asking am I your husband, am I a trick, and me, man, I told them to go to hell and I went home real mad. Listen, leave people alone, if that’s the way they are then fuck everybody else, as long as they treat me with respect, no problem. Besides, people got sons and you never know how they’re going to turn out. That’s why I’m telling you, Junito, leave here, man. Listen, the other day I was taking a walk around the Condado and, man, there were a lot of them there. I mean, there were some that were real built, you always notice something a little weird, but, man, there were guys who looked real good, you know. It looks like they all move to the same area and so it’s easier for them to meet each other there. Yeah, you should go there.
    But for Christ’s sake, Junito, your mom made her life, you have to go out on your own. Besides, you have more brothers and they can share the work taking care of her. Don’t screw yourself out of pity, man, you’ve got to live your own life.
    I’m talking to you like this, man, because I’m sure of what I am. You know I don’t like that whole scene, but I believe in live and let live. I mean, bro, things change; this is a different world. Do you get cable? They show lots of things, I mean, like, on Showtime they even kiss each other and everything.
    One sec, Junito . . . Yo, Cristobal, hey baby, you know you’re mine. Tomorrow’s the day. No, my little brother is taking me to the airport . . . yeah, to Boston. No, man, to stay. Anyway, I’ll come down later to say good-bye to the boys. Ok, see you there. Take care.
    Nothing to be afraid of, we always fuck around like that . . . So yeah, man. Ah yeah, so they kiss and everything, and they look normal. If you saw them on the street you wouldn’t think they belong to the other team. It’s just that on the outside there’s more freedom for that kinda thing . . . I think they even get married . . . and have kids and everything.
    I remember, bro, when we were kids, you know, I’d fuck with you a lot. ’Cause I was ignorant, man. Repeating the same shit everyone else said, but look, you ended up better than all of us and the ones that give you a hard time nowadays it’s because they’re jealous.
    You wonder why I know so much about all this shit, man . . . Keep this to yourself, bro, I’m gonna tell you something I never told nobody . . . See, my youngest boy, well, he’s just like you. I’m telling you, ever since he was real little I’d watch him and watch him and, pam! You know what I mean . . . At first that shit bothered me like crazy . . . he’s my son and I know that people like him suffer a lot . . . I’m telling you, Junito, I’ll kill the motherfucker who says anything to my son. One day the older kid started saying shit to him and I stopped him. This is your brother and you and him got the same blood. If I catch you calling him faggot again I’m going to break your face, you heard me? It’s not easy, you know, you can’t know for sure, but I got a hunch . . . His mother doesn’t say nothing about it, we don’t talk about it, but I know she knows.
    One day I heard her talking with a sister of hers, the chubbiest of the three of them, who’s married to the Holsum guy. That one . . . well that bitch told my wife that the little one’s like that because she wanted to have a girl so bad when she was pregnant with him. That she should put him in Boy Scouts or karate and shit like that
