If you could be invisible for 24 hours what would you do? You can answer this without revealing who you are.

 just to put it in the exact words of Emanu my nephew

It has been the worest of its kind,  but I hear it is nothing compared to what usually  happens in NY. Snow, icy rain, the slick road… you name it , we had it. Driving on it is crazzzzzzy, and the cold , I am itching all over the place….. I hate it I hate it officially.

Life has been great so far, but I miss home, Ethiopiyaye, if only I was a Jumper( watch the movie)

There isnot much entertainment, But I support PETA for the  ” mawgez”  of Arita and the others for using animal fur… shame on them.

 I am writing this from the digital library. Now with wireless internet connection, the place looks more its name : almost everyone I see here has brought a laptop along.

 I went to the “analog” library to return some books which were way overdue their return date. The librarian was such a nice guy and he asteyayet aderegeligne on the fine. When I was leaving, the nice lady fetash at the door went ” eyetefah bik tilaleh aydel?” She caught me totally by surprise: it felt nice to be remembered and to feel part of a fam which I hope would stay strong for longer.

 Then I went to see our usual sitting place next to the stairs and this brief wave of emotion went right through me. 

I am so loving Arat Kilo this 10:21 a.m.  19th of February morning, that I want to take her home.

I thought I could post something just to push down the “poem ” post further down….except I don’t think I know what to write. Ena nuro endet yizoachihual? These days I’m spending more time with my guitar. I just got a pair of sneakers just to encourage myself to start excercise. I saw live jazz with a friend too. It was fun. I had forgotten how much I enjoyed live music :)

I was just thinking about you

For dog years

In more places

Than a stray dog could only dream of going to

 Mustering strength from my exhaustion

When all hope is lost

What’s there left to do

Save for hope some more

The very thought of you

Brings out the prophet in me

Dig this

Your heart shall be my shelter

The whole 150 cm3 of it [citation needed]

And time

Will stop being a concept  

Neither 1.5 ml

Nor 1.73 m

 None of it

Will signify a damn thing

 You become the concept   

I stay with that concept

Obscenely blissful

Let space-time shrink

We will live the scientific life

Physics, chemistry, biology

 We will have it all

My missing rocks inclusive    

Til with that concept    

 Wake up    

And I am dead    

Never mind the statistics      

 Best believe we gon’ die together

But that’s for later

 Now  

Can hardly wait

For my universe to end

   Love is in the air (not as much as them green house gases anyway); I inhaled and it came out like so.

In seven days time, I will be celebrating Valentine’s Day alone; again; as is the common practice; as has been the case since time immemorial…  

Cupid you suck!

 

If I had my way and were good at drawing, my representation of you would be, apple on top of head; a deliberate  arrow through forehead and a gratuitous arrow per butt cheek, just for good measure.
