“But there were too many points at which the other self could invade the self he wanted to preserve, and there were too many forms of invasion: certain words, sounds, lights, actions his hands or feet performed, and if he did nothing at all, heard and saw nothing, the shouting of some triumphant inner voice that shocked him and cowed him.”
― Strangers on a Train
― Strangers on a Train
“[Hand Watches]
I opened the drawer
Where I keep old things and tokens
I glanced over some hand watches
With dead batteries and frozen times…
Watches that were gifted to me over time
By teachers or friends
To commend my accomplishments and respect for time…
It never occurred to them or to me then
That Time would die in a heart attack
And will cease to be important
The day my homeland was occupied and destroyed…
The day the occupying thieves
In collaboration with the thieves within
Would burn and destroy everything beautiful in it…
And since then, I refuse to wear hand watches
And will never wear one
Until my people get back their Time and dignity…
And when that happens, Time will remain unimportant
For then, I will turn into a butterfly
A sparrow
A daffodil or an orange blossom,
Or perhaps an apricot blossom on a branch
An unstoppable sprig of water
That flows beyond time and timing …
In that same drawer I found
Pens that have run out of ink
Looking like mummified corpses..
At a moment of despair,
A strong feeling struck me like a lightning
Leaving me with a frightening question:
What if this is a wound that all time can’t cure
A cause that all the ink of the world can’t solve?
