"Dress up! Dress us and dance at Carnival!" (799). What the heck is up with this poem? I get that it's at a Mexican festival, but that's about it. Who or what is the dog? A chiwawa? Is it even a dog at all? Is this poem just a stream of consciousness? It's really chaotic and weird. Does the speaker feel bad for the dog or like it? Also, the 6th stanza is just completely out there and makes no sense at all.
