I am hiding my feelings in a stock photo
A man with a beard is out to get you
I saw it in a daydream
Wanted it when I hid my feelings
In an Arab man
Out to dinner, doing normal things
You look to me for answers
I’ve tried everything they have
Recycling previous mottos
Pan-Arabism is cool I guess
Just kidding
Forgot I am naïve, fuck borders
I meant to say
Our mouths could not announce
What is given up for efficiency
In America we do not hesitate
Do not sit still
There are fireworks
In the lines on my face
A pockmarked surface
Devoted to solace
