I will not pick up Elián. I will not put him in a car, I will not take him near or far, I will not go inside that house, That Waco thing still freaks me out. I will not take him in the rain, I will not put him on a plane, I will not pick him up, you see, The exiles would be mad at me. I will not take him to his dad, Would you make Gloria Estefan mad? I will not send him to Fidel, Cause Marisleysis says it's hell. I will not go and do my job, I'm too scared of that angry mob, I will not push old Uncle Laz, He's got more lawyers than I have. I know I promised, but oh well, That's just too bad for Juan Miguel. salon.com | April 21, 2000   - - - - - - - - - - - - About the writer Joy-Ann Lomena Reid is a freelance writer in Miami.
