“what—one of my cellmates knows a lot of poems. I’ve been memorizing most of what he has recited for us. His poetry reminds me of the songs you used to hum. It’s such a joy, Leila. I never knew. Poetry is such a cure for loneliness. You see, if you’re stuck on an island all alone, somewhere deserted, you can recite poetry and lo and behold, poof! Loneliness fades away. When I am out, we will see which of us knows”
