To be young and not to believe it

To be young and not to believe it
(2007)

Poetry of Walid Al- Sheikh
Translated by Hamzeh Asad

Announcement

Your bosom
is as eloquent as wisdom
and is as scandalous as sin

A Gift

If I had friends,
I would present a poem for each one
.It is as simple as this
quick poem like a sandwich
.You friend can surely visit
the toilet whenever you want.

The Bus

Spitting,
Smoking
,getting the hand´-or-the head
out of the bus,
throwing the rubbish through windows
,or speaking with the driver
is prohibited

Adolescence

The shawarma is the excuse
to stand before your house.
I can t buy it,nor can you go away
from the terrace

Morning

In the morning
I didn t go to the shop,
nor did I go to the work.
I wasn t ing,
nor was I watching the news
.I haven t yet realized what I have
done this morning
