Ali Commando Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Ali commando

Boiled kettle in kitchen
-felt being a jailer
-in charge of prison
-the Ghasr-Jail in Tehran

Heard a call
-picked phone up
-thought of voice
-other side's
-kept thinking
-recognised
-was Ali Commando…
-did not talk…
-only laughed
-Ha-ha-ha! ! !
-then loudly
-you fucked up! ! !
-now I am in Turkey! ! !

He was in prison
-practised to escape
-ran, gymnast

Came news:
-Ali jumped over wall
-went away in a car,
-his friend's, fiancé's
-slow was our guard and
-all they did was observe
-jail turned to a beehive
-for weeks and even years
-admired everyone
-the man who had such gut

Heard kettle like thunder
-turned around
-did not dare
-I had lost my war to
-the cockroach that had jumped
-for more than two meters
-and escaped…like Ali Commando…
