I made my appearance on an improvised stage (made from plywood...where were they finding all these trees?) outside the town hall, at the stroke of midnight.
The stage was made of plywood.
The stage was steel and glass.
A man rides public transportation.
People are going to ride a bus.
Someone is standing up.
A woman lying down knocks some pins over.
The man is wearing a uniform.
You are Tejano, he observed flatly.
