Epilogue Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Epilogue

Hundreds of pages
- (of info and news)
-and hours of footage
-as well as images
-on CDs and on tapes
- (collected for research)
-tell me: "Is Cliché! "
- (I mean life's accolade)

Among them many names
-Moccasin and Tepee
-Hill, Brook and River
-for circles, streets
-which show us and reveal
-what "is" "was", "used to be"

The photo of Trump
-giving food and a hug
-to woman and the kid
-whose skins are black
-and how is hesitant
-as if getting dirtier
-show he is a racist

Millions running off
-the monsoon and flood
-racism of Burmese
-who rape them and or
-kill

A woman in Windsor
-crying when talking
-with the Mic, reporter:
- "I have lost everything"

The artists and Celebs
-have given donations
-for victims in Texas

The Germans in thousands
-leaving home, work-place
-so, experts defuse a "War bomb"
- (British that remained
-from then)

The bomb of Hydrogen
-by the North Korea

From when "Man" has been
-the ruler
-life levied this being
-forever
-the same talk to repeat
-history then and now

I resign from life
-hit the sack and lie down
-think and think till sleep

I think of the plumbs
- (which I ate)
-violet their skin
-like child in Trump's arm
-their flesh dead green

And smile recalling
-the "Carlos William"
-his poem named "Plumb"

Travel to childhood
-and boyhood
-in village and Tehran
-and plumbs
-similar in look, shape
-but surely tastier
-they were raised in nature
-by nature, with nature
-today ones are like me
-filled with the chemicals

Think the best epilogue
-for such a useless life
-is not but Eulogy
-departing is award
-honor and privilege,
-going is great gift, a reward
-look forward to title
-as soon as possible
-unless learn from ants
- "Life is a sacrifice."
