On “Think of Others“

My utter spoiled brat status

allows me the luxury

of losing and liberating myself in metaphor

at the blink of an eye

Those who have lost the right to speak

can only dream of weaving words at will

together on paper and touchscreen

from a warm bed

as a means of venting

expressing and explaining

A most privileged of pursuitsit is

My streams of consciousness

a personal and political pastiche

Thank you for reminding me

of my great fortune

Your eminency, Mr. Darwish
