هذه المدينة لم تكتمل بعد رغم ادعاءاتهم المتكررة ومخططاتهم الساذجة رغم مساحيق التجميل التي يواصلون نثرها والأكاذيب التي يواصلون تكرارها ليست شابة وليست عجوز هي اربعينية ترتدي ملابس غانية وتلطخ وجنتيها بأحمر شفاه رخيص دلكته اصابع تآكلت حوافها هي بائعة هوى لا يقصدها أحد إلا الفاريين من زوجاتهم و العاجزين عن الوصول لعشيقاتهم وربما الباحثين عن فرصة اخيره لعلاج اضطراب هويتهم الجنسية هذه المدينة ليست استثنائية لا بحر تطل عليه من نافذتك ولا نهر تأوي إليه حين تسأم لا مترو تختبي

I have always been fond of wars I like to put my head in other people’s wars. Standing with the losing side. Losing is a disappointment I can handle, but victories are false promises and I know how to choose my battles slow, boring, and bloody like the third day of a woman’s period. There is a war in my head I was seven when my grandma blamed me for stealing the sweets beneath her bed. Even though I didn’t like sweets she said stealing for others is pure stupidity. I told her

I put my head on a watermelon stand An old lady put it on the scale She looked like my grandma The salesman said, “Do you want me to cut it” She said, "I live close by if it isn't fresh I can return it" She knocked on my forehead, and handed me to her ten-year-old grandson He knocked on it again, harking patiently Despite all the juices, he shouted “It’s off” So I had my head replaced with a bigger one And I survived another day I gave my head to the lady in the hair salon Sh

You ask, “Why?” And I hesitate. You ask why? as if you're asking about the weather As if the answer could be told over a cup of tea or while watching TV. You ask why? While passing the toothpaste, while buttoning my shirt, or handing me my tea You ask why? as if the answer could be summed up in two words, fit into one text message, or easily assumed You ask why? So I say, "This is the wrong question." you say “Why?” Another “why,” I say. “Okay, What?" If n

I've always known that someday I'll need to wear glasses, My mother wore them, my father wore them, my grandmother wore them so I had to like them! When you like something you no longer "have to do it", and me...no one forced me to wear glasses. Sometimes my mom forces me to take them off, she says "You don't look like yourself when you wear them", I say "I don't know myself when I take them off". To tease her I send her emojis wearing glasses, she gets mad. I want to say "T

yes we will tarnish your cities with our crummy clothes and our stinky smell with the plastic bags we use to hide our useless stuff Our boys will scare your ladies With their unshaved chins and their hungry looks We will confuse your kids with our brown eyes and our dark skin We will be the reason for the train delay and for ticket inspectors to work an extra shift Because of us bronze is no longer requested and blond will always be a trend Liberals will talk about our hum

One Turn on the gas Close off everything Doors, windows, peepholes, and retreat thoughts. First, you will feel a headache, Then a pain in the throat An urge to call it off a regret Don't move, just wait Until it's too late You are too weak to stay Just jump Don't leave a note You have a bad handwriting, And nothing can be worse than a misunderstood suicide note Print one if you must Make it funny Like: Don't disturb You don't want to cause them pain It's enough that you are

The signs say this year is your year So I decided to wish you a bad year Good is ordinary at best and ordinary doesn't suit you that is why I wish you a very bad year a year where you loose your keys, your wallet, your socks and your mind. Your phone screen smashes so you will not be able to take a selfie You will be late for work, on a daily basis and no one will even notice a year in which you get chickenpox your boss refuses to give you a sick leave so you go t

برجك يقول أن هذا العام هو الأفضل بالنسبة لك لهذا قررت أن اتمنى لك عاماً سيئاً الجيد عادي بأحسن الاحوال والعادي لا يلائمك لذلك سأتمنى لك عاماً سيئاً عاماً تضيع فيه مفاتيحك ومحفظتك وجواربك تتهشم فيه شاشة هاتفك فتمنعك من التقاط سلفي تتأخر فيه عن العمل بشكل يومي تصاب فيه بالجدري ويرفض رب العمل منحك إجازة مرضية فتذهب للعمل والبقع البيضاء تغطي وجهك عاماً تقرر فيه الفتاة التي تحبها انكما بحاجة للإنفصال لبعض الوقت بعض الوقت ينتهي حين تشاهد اعلان خطبتها على الفيس بوك عند صديق مشترك. ع

I didn't reach ten, when I realized that there is an absolute evil in this life and that the devils might look like us. They don't have sharp teeth, or bent horns. Their feet do not look like the goats’ feet and they might even have clear beautiful blue eyes I was older than ten when the teacher asked 'what kind of super power would we like to have? if we get to choose!' A boy said that he wanted to eat as much as he liked without getting fat. Another chose the power to fly.
