Atef Ayadi Poem
Her naked face
Aroused me.
I was helpless
Looking
To find a
An unexposed seat
To sit down.

She Walks
With
The sun,
Like a sunflower.

She said:
'I am cold.'
I said:
'You have a lips' fever.'

Atef Ayadi Poem
Merry Christmas
Shoppers, and
Poor women and poor men
With wallets
And without.
Merry Christmas
Whoever is in his or her little cell,
Little box,
In jail for a day
Or for life
For whatever reason.
Merry Christmas
Merry past Christmas
Merry present Christmas
Merry future Christmas
Without exception,
Segregation,
Or exclusion.
Merry Christmas
Believers
Non-believers
people from
earth,
Mars,
Or another galaxy.
Merry Christmas
new born,
Children,
Orphans,
Children who are left behind,
And future humanity.
Merry Christmas
Street’s poets,
Merry Christmas
Low-wage happy faces,
And the running delivery man.
Merry Christmas
Singles,
Single mothers,
Single fathers,
And lonely adventurer
In the wilderness.
Merry Christmas,
Streets,
Trees,
Lakes,
Mountains
Forests,
And prairies
Of America.
Merry Christmas,
Who is attached to the past
And who is planning for the future.
Merry Christmas soldier.
Merry Christmas soldier.
Merry Christmas soldier.
Merry Christmas
Policeman,
And firefighter.
Merry Christmas
My friends
My street mates
My Café mates, and
My bus mates.
Merry Christmas
The cheerful,
The antagonistic
The angry
The bored
The one who feels it is not worth it
The one who is almost there
The one who can not make it.
The one who will not make it.
Merry Christmas
Who is sleeping,
And who is dreaming,
Who is on the road,
Who is traveling
By
Plane,
Boat,
Car,
Or who is orbiting
Around the planet.
Merry Christmas
Mexicans,
Africans,
Asians,
And the European:
The first who came
And the last who are trying.
Merry Christmas
The lost and found
Merry Christmas Native America.
Merry Christmas Eileen.
Merry Christmas
America.

Atef Ayadi Poem
Your Tirane
Will not last!
I will end
Your chest's legacy.
I will Overthrow
Your kisses,
And your lips' irony.

Atef Ayadi Poem
I am the animal,
The tiniest,
Useless,
And the powerless.
I am what
The wealthiest love to adopt.

Atef Ayadi Poem
In most parties
I went to
Or in some public
Gathering
Around cafe shop
table
the most
top
and routine
questions
I have been subject to
And
I tried
Unsuccessfully
To digest
During these
Last five years
Is
“what is your name?”
“How do you pronounce it?”
“where do you come from?”
See,
They come
In a bundle
One pack
The same sequence
Same wave length
The same algorithm
I do know where people
Learned
The stuff
Was it in first grade?
Second?
Fifth grade?
May be
To deal with the country
needs to
An urgent
Diversity.
