Fishawi, Cairo Poetry

Flore, Fishawi, Shati, McNamara

All accounts of gallantry, pleasure, and entertainment, shall be under the article of

Café Flore, Paris; poetry, under that of Fishawi, Jeddah or Cairo; learning under the title of the Shati Tea-and-Falafel-shop, Gaza; foreign and domestic news, you will have from

McNamara Ground Ops Lunchroom, Detroit; and what else I shall on any other subject offer, shall be dated from my own apartment.

The western commentators and hard line Islamicists can't see the poetry of the dismantling of the Rab'a Al-Adawiyya Mosque sit-in,

Poetic justice.  Fishawi is closed under curfew tonight, but, then, the evenings in Hussein were as wonderful as usual this Ramadan, I'm sure.
