PA SAATپاساعت

ساعت 

پا ساعت

وقت را بر برجی بلند نشاندم 

تاوقت به بازی بازگشت 

وقت باز گشت 

زیرا 

برج ساعت نمی میرد 

کسی که وقت را ویران کرد 

این را هرگز نمی دانست

پا ساعت

 pa sa'at,clock tower,sari,mazandaran

Meidan Sa'at is the center of Sari and Mazandaran,Iran

and even the world

This is the only independent clock tower in Iran,

not leaning on any other structures.

IT IS SPRING FORWARD

DO NOT FORGET TO ADJUST YOUR TIME TONIGHT

WITH CLOCKTOWER OF SARI,

MAZANDARAN

IRAN

*PA SA'AT

سر بند سر زمین سبز A HEAD TIE OF GREEN LAND
 در شمال IN THE NORTH
 یا تمامی سر زمین محبوبم OR ALL OVER MY BELOVED HOMELAND.
 تو برج یا میدان می خوانیش YOU CALL HER SQUARE OR TOWER
اما او همیشه پا ساعت بوده است BUT SHE'S BEEN PA SA'AT FOREVER.

وقتی شهرداری او را به سکوت وا  داشت ONCE AUTHORITY ORDERED HER SILENCE

و مزدوران
 او را به زمین آوردند AND THERE WERE THUGS
TO TAKE HER DOWN.
پایین آمد اما بیرون نشد SHE WAS DOWN
BUT NOT OUT
و مردم به خیابان ها  ریختند AND PEOPLE POURED OUT INTO STREETS
با او WITH HER
و حالا دو باره AND HERE SHE GOES AGAIN
جوان و توانمند YOUNGER AND STRONGER
برج ساعت سر زمین سبز A CLOCK TOWER IN GREEN LAND
که بر کسی تکیه ندارد WHO IS NOT LEANING ON ANY ONE
و بالا و تنها AND TALL ALL ALONE
ایستاده ست  دلاور STANDING GALLANT.
اینجا میدان ساعت ساری است IT IS SA'AT SQUARE
OF SARI
سربند سرزمین سبز A HEAD TIE OF GREEN شمال در IN THE NORTH
یا در تمام سر زمین محبوبم OR ALL OVER MY BELOVED COUNTRY
ساعت SA'AT
پا ساعت PA SA'AT.

WE DID IT AGAIN

 FARAMARZ SOLEIMANI

*...AND NOW IT'S CASTER SEMENYA'S TURN
TO BE TESTED FOR TESTS.
I WONDER THIS IS FOR THE NAME
OR FOR GENDER?

WE DID IT AGAIN
WE DID IT TO MICHAEL,THE KING OF POP
WE DID IT TO ELVIS,THE KING OF ROCK
WHO'S ALIVE AND WELL
TO MARILYN "THE BOMBSHELL"AND MILLER
AND JACK AND BOBBY
AND TED OF CHAPPAQUEQUE(OR WHATEVER)
TO MARLON AND HIS DAUGHTER AND HIS SON
AND EVEN TO HIS NATIVE AMERICAN CAUSE
TO BILL , THE WHITE BLACK BOY OF ARKANSAS
TO CHARLES"I LOVE AMERICA"KRAULT
TO MICHAEL"THE BIG FISH"PHELPS
AND THEN PUT HIM IN WATER
WITHOUT HIS TAIL AND FINS
TO MICHAEL WICK,A FALCON TURNED EAGLE
TO A ROD,CARL LEWIS,SOUSA,BARRY THE BIG BABY
TO IRON MIKE,DONTE
ROGER,MANNY,MARION JONES OF CARIBBEAN
TO REDSKINS SEAN TAYLOR OR TITAN/RAVEN STEVE MC NAIR
TO O.J.THE JUICE
NOW TO RICK
BUT HE'S RICH
AND HE'S GOT POWER...
WE RUINED WOODY
WE PACKED JOHN TO HIS BLOODY VOCAL CORD
WE DECONSTRUCTED CHARLIE CHAPLIN
AND PACKED HIM OVERSEAS
WITH HIS HUGE FAMILY
TO HIS HUGE MANSION IN SWITZERLAND
AND HE STILL MAKE US ALL LAUGH
WITH HIS MONKEY TRICKS
*
WE DID IT AGAIN
WE MADE SHINING STARS,
A LUSCIOUS BITE
AND SOON SELL THEM TO PAPARAZZI AND TABLOIDS
TO DRUGS
SEX AND
SCANDALS
IN ARGENTINA
OR ON APPALACHIAN TRAIL
AND SOME SECLUDED HUT
IN MONTANA
*
...AND NOW
LADIES&GENTELMEN
WELCOME TO OUR SHOW
24/7
HERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRE'S
JACKSON X 5
AND MUCH MUCH MUCH
MORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRE
BUT AS YOGI BERRA SAID:
IT AIN'T OVER
TILL IT'S OVER
AND REMEMBER THIS
WE ARE A BUNCH OF INNOCENTS
WE ARE THE CHILDREN
WE ARE THE WORLD

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WASHINGTON,D.C.(JULY 16,1790)

ON THIS 17TH ANNIVERSARY OF MOVING FROM MY BELOVED NEW YORK,NEW YORK TO WASHINGTON,D.C.AREA ,I DEDICATE THE POEM : "19 REASONS..." TO REMEMBERANCE OF JAMES SMITHSON.
JAMES SMITHSON,THE FOUNDER OF SMITHSONIAN MUSEUMS WAS BORN IN FRANCE IN 1765 AND LEFT HIS FORTUNE TO BUILD SMITHSONIAN MUSEUMS IN 1846.THIS CASTLE OF ART & CULTURE ,NOW EXPANDED TO 19 MUSEUMS AND 9 CENTERS FOR RESEARCH OR MUSEUMS BY THEIR OWN RIGHT,IN OUR CAPITAL CITY.
JAMES SMITHSON DIED IN ITALY ON JUNE 27,1829 BUT HIS LOVE AND LUST FOR LIFE NEVER DIED.
HE ONCE SAID :
"EVERY MAN IS A VALUABLE MEMBER OF SOCIRTY WHO...PROCURES KNOWLEDGE FOR MEN."
THIS IS HOW WE GATHER IN HIS BIG HOUSE AND ENJOY THAT KNOWLEDGE AND CULTURE HE PROCURED FOR US.

BY THE WAY,SOON WE'RE GOING TO CELEBRATE THE BIRTHDAY OF NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART(NGA),
WHO WAS BORN MARCH 17,1941

*REQUIEM FOR MHSEN

A BLOW BY ROGUES

IS A BLOW TO ROGUES

A GREEN WREATH FOR YOUTH

IN RESISTANCE AND WRATH

DEATH BECOMES A DECORUM AND STAPLE OF ROGUES

SPELLED UNRULLY

IN DIFFERENT WAYS.

*from: RED THROAT OF SOHRAB - 2

WHERE WERE THEY SEEN

LAST IN THEIR DREAMS?

UNDER THE DESERT SUN

OR SPREAD OF SUMMER?

HE LIKED TO LIVE

IN A BLUE BUBBLE

HE WAS LOST

IN THE TEARS OF MOTHERS.

AND THEIR SONS

WHO WERE FLYING

WITH THE SUN

ON THE ROAD OF RAGE

AND WRATH.

A LONELY BEACON

FROM FARAWAY

SANG IN SORROWS...

 FROM RED THROAT OF SOHRAB

TO A MIRAGE BEYOND THE BORDER

I AM FLAG OF THE WORDS OF DREAMS
