Before letter-box
she stood for a long hour
she could not decide

The purpose of studying
Is to become an original
Not an echo.

             - Cornel West

Unexpected

Beautiful young women on Franklin Street
         I wander lonely as a cloud
                       Wowed.

found myself in
a dream

lost myself in
a thought

God, with your grace, all my work is being accomplished.

For what you are doing, I am getting the credit.

I was a bird
پرنده ای بودم
In the sky
From your eyes...
...در آسمانی از چَشمانِ تو
When you didn't see me flying
در آن هنگام
که پروازم را حس نمی کردی

Why are your eyes so beautiful?!
چرا چَشمانِ تو آنقدر زیباست!؟
That I released the lock of hair
To your wide blue sky...
که من موهایم را
...در آسمانِ پهنِ آبیِ تو رها کردم
