Homafar Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Homafar

I heard of years ago, in Iran
-an Air Force general
-going with an offer to the Shah

I knew both of men
- (I, too, was officer;
-and involved in flights
-that headed to friends
-and colleagues of the shah.
-Had also led flights
-heading for maneuver
-along with general.)

General, I am told:
- "Offered a new rank
-it was called Homafar."

This new specious
-was neither a sergeant
-nor would be officer
- (Could not be Mestizo.)

Brainless, general
-as I was aware of
-was a dog
-licked hands, ass
-simply to make ranks

Homafar happened to
-become a tumor
-tumor of cancer
-killing the very first
-Victor who intended
-to make man; invented
-Frankenstein

I wonder if same is
-true of the courses
-making me "Paralegal"
- (Not lawyer! ! !
-Yet lawyer! ! !)
