Woke up at three, read numerous pages
Of the famous novel called 'The Black Book'
I took the day off. Opportunities
Taken, and I finished Orhan Pamuk
And his story set in Istanbul. Look -
Place names I recall from my trip last year
To Greece and Turkey. Pamuk seemed to cook
Up a dizzying brew (raki, not beer)
Saying that films and books and all culture
Are like a mirror in which images
Of reality are multiplied. Took
Me a while to read it but now I'm there
Next up to read, 'Ramallah Diaries'
About life in the West Bank. Wish me luck...
