6. A steel bridge named after the congressman's wife now spans the gray river where Tasyo, the old goat, had split the skin of our young lizards to make us a man many years ago.

7. The long blue hills where we used to shoot birds with slingshot or spend the summer afternoons we loved so much doing, nothing in the tall grass have been bought by the mayor's son. Now there's a barbed wire fence about them; the birds have gone away.

8. The mayor owns a big sugar plantation, three new cars, and a mansion with the gate overhung with sampaguita. Inside the gate are guys who
