Rivera iba eufórico, limpiándose la cara con gasolina, feliz como un niño travieso que prepara su siguiente broma y las gana todas: atacado por los capitalistas por comunista y por los comunis- tas por capitalista, Rivera se sentía puro mexicano, mexicano burlón, travieso, con más púas que un puercoespín para defenderse de los cabrones de aquí y de allá, ayuno de los rencores que vencían de antemano a los cabrones de aquí y de allá, encantado de ser el blanco del deporte nacional de atacar a Diego Rivera que ahora sería visto como una tradición nacional frente al nuevo deporte gringo de atacar a Diego Rivera, Diego el Puck gordo que en vez de las enramadas del bosque de una noche de verano, se reía del mundo desde el bosque de tablas de su andamio de pintor un minuto antes de caer al suelo y descubrir que tenía una cabeza de asno pero encontraba un regazo amoroso donde acogerse y ser acariciado por la reina de la noche que no veía al burro feo sino a un príncipe encantado, la rana convertida en el príncipe enviado por la luna para amar y proteger a su Friducha, mi chiquita, mi niñita adorada, quebrada, adolorida, todo es por ti, tú lo sabes, ¿verdad que sí?, y cuando te digo, Frida, «déjame ayudarte, pobrecita», ¿qué te estoy diciendo sino ayúdame, pobrecito de mí, ayuda a tu Diego?
Rivera was euphoric, cleaning his face with kerosene, happy as a mischievous child planning his next practical joke and succeeding at them all: attacked by capitalists for being a Communist and by Communists for being a capitalist, Rivera felt he was a pure Mexican, a joking, devilish Mexican with more quills than a porcupine to defend himself from bastards on both sides of the Rio Grande, devoid of the rancor that defeated both Mexicans and Americans before the game started, and delighted to be the target in the Mexican national sport of attacking Diego Rivera, which now would be seen as a national tradition as opposed to the new gringo sport of attacking Diego Rivera. Diego the fat Puck, who instead of laughing at the world from a thicket on a midsummer night could laugh from the thicket of his fresco scaffolding one moment, then fall to the floor and discover he had an ass’s head but find an amorous lap where he could take refuge and be caressed by the queen of the night, who saw not an ugly donkey but an enchanted prince, the frog transformed into the prince sent by the moon to love and protect his Friducha, mi chiquita, my adored little girl, broken, suffering, everything is for you, you know that, don’t you? And when I say, Frida, “Let me help you, poor little thing,” what am I saying but help me, poor little me, help your Diego?
