this moment
on my son
sony
for the
canon of
2oo7...
most people
would just go
to the cinema
for drama
but we burnt
those/them
too

majid...
28 years young
this is
what cultural
authenticity
looks like
slowly
slowly
we did it
do it
to ourselves
------------

we used to stand
on different
pieces of wood
that were not
knocked out
from under us
HOWEVER
these are our
independent
podiums today
1
2
3
without medals
and/or national
anthems
these are our
stages
with fists
unraised
looking to
where the skies
are dotted with
bobbing
listless
heads
and colourful cranes
however
we are now
independent
esteghlal
and free
azadi
of so-called
western tyranny
i swear
ask our stadiums
avenues
and squares
we named them
over
again and again

so

keep your cells
to yourselves
we know how
to tie a mean
knot and how
to hand weave an
unforgiving G_D

We now have
our own industry
of death
and no longer
need to look
to your
celluloid
screens
casablanca
dreams
we have
our own
eroded canvases
sprayed with stories
that fiction
could never
do justice

in
dependent
