>> I'm going to read this
particular public poem very quickly.

00:00:09.566 --> 00:00:16.576 align:middle
I'm just so proud of this because several years
ago I was asked to write a poem for the visit

00:00:16.576 --> 00:00:20.726 align:middle
of President Vicente Fox when
he came to visit Arizona.

00:00:20.726 --> 00:00:24.566 align:middle
I wrote the poem, I read it for
him and I read it in English

00:00:24.566 --> 00:00:25.996 align:middle
and Spanish with him standing next to me.

00:00:25.996 --> 00:00:27.166 align:middle
He is about 10 ft tall.

00:00:32.796 --> 00:00:38.786 align:middle
And afterward came the great news that this
poem is going to be on the wall of the new Port

00:00:39.976 --> 00:00:43.196 align:middle
of Entry at Nogales, where I grew up.

00:00:43.986 --> 00:00:46.626 align:middle
It is a nice thing.

00:00:47.556 --> 00:00:51.966 align:middle
This is called Borderlines, Líneas fronterizas.

00:00:51.966 --> 00:00:53.536 align:middle
I'm going to read it just as I read it that day.

00:00:54.986 --> 00:00:56.166 align:middle
It's got an epigraph as well.

00:00:56.506 --> 00:01:00.536 align:middle
A weight carried by two weighs
only half as much.

00:01:00.876 --> 00:01:04.796 align:middle
Un peso cargado por dos no
pesa más que la mitad.

00:01:07.116 --> 00:01:15.936 align:middle
The world on a map looks like the drawing of a
cow in a butcher's shop, all those lines showing

00:01:16.386 --> 00:01:22.796 align:middle
where to cut. El mundo en un mapa parece
el dibujo de una vaca en la carnicería,

00:01:23.816 --> 00:01:27.966 align:middle
todas esas líneas mostrando dónde cortar,

00:01:29.046 --> 00:01:34.606 align:middle
pero ese dibujo de la vaca
es también un rompecabezas,

00:01:34.946 --> 00:01:42.136 align:middle
mostrando cómo todas las piezas
extrañas caben muy bien juntas.

00:01:42.456 --> 00:01:47.486 align:middle
But that drawing of the cow
is also a jigsaw puzzle,

00:01:48.146 --> 00:01:53.976 align:middle
showing just as much how very well
all the strange parts fit together.

00:01:55.726 --> 00:02:00.406 align:middle
La manera en que miramos el
dibujo nos hace ver la diferencia.

00:02:01.026 --> 00:02:05.526 align:middle
Which way we look at the
drawing makes all the difference.

00:02:07.176 --> 00:02:10.496 align:middle
Parecemos vivir en un mundo de mapas,

00:02:11.376 --> 00:02:18.876 align:middle
pero en verdad vivimos en un mundo hecho
no de papel ni de tinta, sino de gente.

00:02:20.086 --> 00:02:23.256 align:middle
Esas líneas son nuestras vidas.

00:02:23.486 --> 00:02:28.766 align:middle
We seem to live in a world
of maps, but in truth we live

00:02:28.766 --> 00:02:34.416 align:middle
in a world made not of paper
and ink, but of people.

00:02:35.566 --> 00:02:39.046 align:middle
Those lines are our lives.

00:02:40.086 --> 00:02:46.376 align:middle
Juntos, demos vuelta al mapa
hasta que veamos claramente.

00:02:47.026 --> 00:02:53.036 align:middle
La frontera es lo que nos
une, no lo que nos separa.

00:02:54.396 --> 00:03:00.346 align:middle
Together, let us turn the
map until we see clearly.

00:03:01.296 --> 00:03:01.976 align:middle
The border --

00:03:04.336 --> 00:03:07.806 align:middle
-- is what joins us, not what separates us.
