A Heart Now Taken

I never wanted to own the words,
but only rent them

I never wanted to stay too long,
just not leave early

I never wanted to hear the answer,
and keep the question

I never wanted to give my name,
—a heart now taken

   The renowned Columbia professor, Edward Sa’id
   influenced many thousands in thought and in deed

   Pre-1970, Edward told us he was Lebanese Christian, interestingly
   Post-1970, he was suddenly a Palestinian Arab refugee

   From my Dartmouth days, 1968 - 72, I remember how prominent
   and revered a figure Prof. Sa'id was in both academia and on the
   international political scene... Infuriating!
