This is another poem on
a semi-religious subject.

00:00:07.050 --> 00:00:09.810 align:middle line:90%


00:00:09.810 --> 00:00:13.470 align:middle line:84%
You must imagine that a
figure of the Saint, or Santo,

00:00:13.470 --> 00:00:16.230 align:middle line:84%
you've seen lots
of them out here,

00:00:16.230 --> 00:00:22.410 align:middle line:84%
has not been doing its best
for the household in question

00:00:22.410 --> 00:00:25.720 align:middle line:90%
and measures are taken.

00:00:25.720 --> 00:00:28.612 align:middle line:84%
It's spoken by one of the
children in the household.

00:00:28.612 --> 00:00:29.445 align:middle line:90%
It's called "Santo."

00:00:29.445 --> 00:00:32.800 align:middle line:90%


00:00:32.800 --> 00:00:37.540 align:middle line:84%
Francisco on shelf,
wreathed in dusty wax roses,

00:00:37.540 --> 00:00:40.870 align:middle line:84%
for weeks and weeks
hadn't been himself,

00:00:40.870 --> 00:00:44.410 align:middle line:84%
making no day come true
by answering a prayer,

00:00:44.410 --> 00:00:47.230 align:middle line:90%
just dully standing there.

00:00:47.230 --> 00:00:49.750 align:middle line:90%
What did our grandma do?

00:00:49.750 --> 00:00:54.490 align:middle line:84%
She painted his beard black
and rinsed the roses clean then

00:00:54.490 --> 00:00:57.940 align:middle line:84%
hid his rags in half
a new red satin cloak,

00:00:57.940 --> 00:01:01.120 align:middle line:90%
renaming him Martin.

00:01:01.120 --> 00:01:05.319 align:middle line:84%
Next week the baby spoke,
Juan sent a photograph

00:01:05.319 --> 00:01:08.170 align:middle line:84%
on board his
submarine, Aunt Concha

00:01:08.170 --> 00:01:10.510 align:middle line:84%
went to cook downtown
at the hotel,

00:01:10.510 --> 00:01:14.880 align:middle line:84%
the sick white dog got well,
and that was all it took.

00:01:14.880 --> 00:01:18.000 align:middle line:90%
