There's a weird thing in the world.
It's a list, actually.
It's the list of the hundred most
famous people from Puerto Rico.
So I was born in Puerto Rico.
And when I came across this list,
I thought maybe I might know somebody.
So I read it.
And imagine my surprise that the 51st most famous person
from Puerto Rico is me.
[LAUGHTER]
Yeah, that was my reaction.
[LAUGHTER]
Anyway, I appreciate the honor, certainly.
And this poem is about discovering that list.
"Upon Learning That I Am the 51st Most-Famous Person
from Puerto Rico."
"On a dripping, storm-lit island afternoon in 1970,
there were no survivors."
