EVOLVEMENT THROUGH A CAUTIOUSLY WROUGHT MANIFESTO

                   by Monir Gholamzadeh Bazarbash

I kiss all my books           one by one
I wish I could kiss them            page by page

One day soon they will bring            all my life
To a standstill            I crave more of them
To stop me I am going to find

All my answers            in those leaves:
I have seen a generation burning            its own
