*I WANNA SEE MY GRANDMA T.REX
~A MONSIEUR LE PROFESSEUR LE DOCTEUR HOSSEIN SHARANG,
DE MONTREAL,QUEBEC,LE POETE DU LIVRE SAUVAGE
ET PRESIDENT DE SHARANGUESTAN.
~TO HOSSEIN SHARANG WHO GRACIOUSLY GAVE AWAY ALL HIS WILD POEMS,
BEFORE LEAVING THIS DREADFUL ZOO.--F.S.
*
I WANNA SEE MY GRANDMA T.REX
ALL I HEARD IS
SHE DIED WHEN MOM WAS SIX
MY MOM SAID
SHE GREW UP WITH HER STEPMOTHER
WHO WAS AN ANGEL
WITH HALO
AROUND HER HEAD.
I WANNA SEE
A BEAUTIFUL ANGEL
IN THIS SAVAGE WORLD.
SOMETIMES I GET BRUTAL TOO
WITH BUTTERFLIES AND DRAGONFLIES
OR FIREFLIES.
THEN I THINK OF YOUR GRANDMA T.REX
AND REMEMBER
YOU WANNA SEE YOUR GRANDMA TOO
AND YOUR GRANDMA IS AN ANGEL
WITH HALO
AROUND HER HEAD
WHY WE ARE SO BRUTAL AND SAVAGE THEN?
IS THIS A BIG DREADFUL ZOO OR WHAT?

HE'S MARCHING
AND CHANTING.
HE'S CHANTING
AND HOPING
TO BE
(OR NOT TO BE)
A SUPERPOWER
IN WILDERNESS.
HE ALREADY IS WILDERNESS.
POOR LITTLE TEFLAKI.

VAN GOGH's bd

VAN GOGH's bd,MARCH 30,1853,GROOT ZUNDERT,NETHERLAND,d.AUVRE-SUR-OISE, IN DECEMBER 1885.
ONCE HE CAME TO WASHINGTON IN 98-99 AND LET THE ART LOVERS SEE "VAN GOGH'S VAN GOGH" I SAW HIM FROM CLOSE BY TOO,IN '91 ON THE OPENING DAY OF HIS MUSEUM IN AMSTERDAM AND SIGNED HIS BOOK AS A PERSIAN JOURNALIST AND EDITOR- IN -CHIEF OF DONYAYE SOKHEN MAGAZINE AND ITS REPRESENTATIVE ABROAD. I LOVED HIS HALLUCINATIONS AND NIGHTMARES IN THE NIGHTS OF INSOMNIA,BUT I DIDN'T LIKE HIM TO BE DAZED IN CRISIS AND BE SCARED OF DEATH,TO THE POINT THAT HE WAS.
I DIDN'T WANT THE ARTIST,S VOICE TO BE DOWN AND SOUND TIRED AND FATIGUED.
I WANTED THE ARTIST TO POUR INSIDE OUT.TO FILL PAPERS AND CANVAS.
I LOVED THE ARTIST IN GLOOMY DAYS AND STARRY NIGHTS.
I LOVED THE ARTIST,PERIOD.
AND I WROTE:
A SILENT DOVE ON THE FENCE
FARAWAY, A SILENT DOVE
MONDAY OF RAIN.
... AND I READ THIS LOUD,WITH ALL AFFECTIONS.AND STILL WRITING AND READING ,
IN THE REALM OF SENSES AND SENSIBILITIES.
