“تفرانيل 100
انا شعرى غامق
بس قلبى مطقطق ابيض من زمان
جايز عشان
الناس ساعات بتلاقى ناس
تعرف تشوفها بجد
و انا قلبى لسه عمره ما اتكشف ع حد
بقابل اد ما اقابل
و افارق اد ما افارق
و ما اتعلمش
بلخبط ف الاسامى عشان
بخاف انسى
بلخبط ف الدنيا عشان
بخاف لا ما اعيشش
بقالى كتير ما بتكلمش
بخاف يبقى الكلام متعاد
ما كملتش ف اى رحيل
ما كملتش ف اى قعاد
و بدى للحياة بالكاد
ما يكفيها
و يكفينى
شرور البهدلة فيها
مليش ف البنت طلبات غير
تنسينى اللى قبليها
و بدخل ف حاجات تخاطيف
و عينى ع اللى بعديها
رقصت كتير ع السلم
بخاف اطلع
و اخاف من الارض
- اكيد الخوف مش الفكرة
و حتى يا ستى يعنى بفرض
اكيد الخوف مهواش عيب
طبيعى الناس تخاف من الغيب
و من المقدور
برغم كدة
بحب الضلمة اكتر ما بحب النور
ساعات بتمنى شقة ف برج شايفة النيل
و اوقات انى اعيش مستور
و بزهد .. ف كل ما ف الرحلة من زخرف
و ما زهدهاش
ما دام فيها رمق يتعاش
اكيد ف الرحلة يوم متحاش
و مستنى اعدى عليه
- و تعرف عنه اصلا اية ؟
مفيش غير انه لسه مجاش
بنام ؟
طبعا .. كتير جدا
و بالايام
و طول الوقت بحلم ان انا بجرى
و بشبع من الحاجات بدرى
و رغم كدة لسه ما شبعتش
من الجرى و من الاحلام
بخاف من الموت
عشان خايف ساعتها اكون
عبيط .. كل اللى سيبته كلام
بشوف افلام
عن الدنيا
و عن حكايات
لناس عاشت حاجات تانية
و عن حكايات لناس ماعاشوش
و بتأثر
و بتحسر
ع كل اللى كان ممكن
اكونه
بس ما بقيتهوش
ما سبتش شئ مجربتوش
ولا جربته و ما سبتوش
بحب العود
و احب الناى
و اموت و اعرف حقيقى ازاى
حاجات من دى
ساعات بتدب فيها الروح
من اللمس و من الانفاس
فتبقى حية اكتر من البشر و الناس
مفيش احساس
لحسن الحظ و لسوئه
ما بيعديش
مفيش ولا طعم حاجة من اللى بتدوقه
مسيره يعيش
بحلوه و بمره كله بيتسخط لمفيش
يا سبحان اللى بيعودنا ع الحاجة
فننساها
و بيخفف كاسات الناس
بميه بدال ما يملاها
عشان طعم اللى فيها يروح
عشان طعم اللى فيها يخف
يقولوا مجازا المجروح
اذا خد ع الوجع .. بيخف
تلف عليه سواقى الكون
تدوب اللى فات
ف الجاى
ف سبحانه اما قال
منها جعلنا
( كل شئ حى )
زمان فيه حد علمنا
ف درس الدين
دعاء بيقول :
يا خالق كل شئ ناقص .. كمالته معاك
يا شايل من الحاجات حتة .. بنترجاك
بحق المشهد الكامل
و اسمك اللى انا عرفته
تسيب اللى يكفينا
و تكفينا بما سبته
ما تحوجناش
لجاى مجاش
و ترضينا بما جبته
و ندعى وراه بصوت عالى
يرج الفصل رج خفيف
و اكمل دعوتى ف سرى
( و ترحم قلبى ف شيبته )
كما تدعو الفروع الاصل
دعوتها
ف كل خريف”

“I want you to tell me about every person you’ve ever been in love with.
Tell me why you loved them,
then tell me why they loved you.

Tell me about a day in your life you didn’t think you’d live through.
Tell me what the word home means to you
and tell me in a way that I’ll know your mother’s name
just by the way you describe your bedroom
when you were eight.

See, I want to know the first time you felt the weight of hate,
and if that day still trembles beneath your bones.

Do you prefer to play in puddles of rain
or bounce in the bellies of snow?
And if you were to build a snowman,
would you rip two branches from a tree to build your snowman arms
or would leave your snowman armless
for the sake of being harmless to the tree?
And if you would,
would you notice how that tree weeps for you
because your snowman has no arms to hug you
every time you kiss him on the cheek?

Do you kiss your friends on the cheek?
Do you sleep beside them when they’re sad
even if it makes your lover mad?
Do you think that anger is a sincere emotion
or just the timid motion of a fragile heart trying to beat away its pain?

See, I wanna know what you think of your first name,
and if you often lie awake at night and imagine your mother’s joy
when she spoke it for the very first time.

I want you to tell me all the ways you’ve been unkind.
Tell me all the ways you’ve been cruel.
Tell me, knowing I often picture Gandhi at ten years old
beating up little boys at school.

If you were walking by a chemical plant
where smokestacks were filling the sky with dark black clouds
would you holler “Poison! Poison! Poison!” really loud
or would you whisper
“That cloud looks like a fish,
and that cloud looks like a fairy!”

Do you believe that Mary was really a virgin?
Do you believe that Moses really parted the sea?
And if you don’t believe in miracles, tell me —
how would you explain the miracle of my life to me?

See, I wanna know if you believe in any god
or if you believe in many gods
or better yet
what gods believe in you.
And for all the times that you’ve knelt before the temple of yourself,
have the prayers you asked come true?
And if they didn’t, did you feel denied?
And if you felt denied,
denied by who?

I wanna know what you see when you look in the mirror
on a day you’re feeling good.
I wanna know what you see when you look in the mirror
on a day you’re feeling bad.
I wanna know the first person who taught you your beauty
could ever be reflected on a lousy piece of glass.

If you ever reach enlightenment
will you remember how to laugh?

Have you ever been a song?
Would you think less of me
if I told you I’ve lived my entire life a little off-key?
And I’m not nearly as smart as my poetry
I just plagiarize the thoughts of the people around me
who have learned the wisdom of silence.

Do you believe that concrete perpetuates violence?
And if you do —
I want you to tell me of a meadow
where my skateboard will soar.

See, I wanna know more than what you do for a living.
I wanna know how much of your life you spend just giving,
and if you love yourself enough to also receive sometimes.
I wanna know if you bleed sometimes
from other people’s wounds,
and if you dream sometimes
that this life is just a balloon —
that if you wanted to, you could pop,
but you never would
‘cause you’d never want it to stop.

If a tree fell in the forest
and you were the only one there to hear —
if its fall to the ground didn’t make a sound,
would you panic in fear that you didn’t exist,
or would you bask in the bliss of your nothingness?

And lastly, let me ask you this:

If you and I went for a walk
and the entire walk, we didn’t talk —
do you think eventually, we’d… kiss?

No, wait.
That’s asking too much —
after all,
this is only our first date.”
