Feels right

Piano solo

11-Oct-2007
I write English like how it's spoken at the Wilton house -- the way it feels right. Chris Ransom in general is a fucked-up homie, and James Hollywood is a muthefuckeh on sherms. They sell anything out of the Wilton; hash, crack, powder, ass, and what have you.>>>

POETRY

میهن من، خانه ای آفتابی است

برای خاطره داستان "خانه آفتابی" نوشته پرتو نوری علا

11-Oct-2007 (13 comments)
باغچه ی خانه ما پربار است،
و در آن هم نعنا می کاریم و هم ریحان،
تربچه و خیار و گوجه فرنگی و کدو هم داریم.
خانه ی آفتابی من میراث من بوده است.
خانه ی آفتابی ام هم قدیمی است و هم محکم.
خانه ی آفتابی من در زمستانهای پر برف،
باز هم دلباز و دلگرم و روشن می ماند. >>>

Marvelous Maz

A long chat with Maz Jobrani

11-Oct-2007 (11 comments)
“I’m Pehrzheean!” actor Maz Jobrani declares in one of his Axis of Evil stand up comedy routines. To find out how “Pehrzheean” Jobrani really is, I sent him an email asking if ever puts raw eggs on his rice. “What red-blooded Iranian doesn’t?” was his reply. Later I met Jobrani in person. He’d invited me to watch his performance at Punchline, the illustrious San Francisco comedy club that has also hosted Chris Rock, Ellen Degeneres, Dana Carvey, Margaret Cho, Dave Chapelle, Rosie O’Donnell, and Robin Williams. Afterwards, we met in a nearby pub. Jobrani was in a sprightly mood.>>>

He's back with us

Ali Shakeri released

I answered the phone and said hello and once I heard the first word I knew it. It was Ali himself calling me to let me know that he was back with his family. He sounded tired and did not want to talk to him for long. I told him I will call in a few days when is rested. I did not know how to react. I was happy that he is safe and sound and yet I was sad to see a gentile man such as Ali, spend four months of his life in prison not knowing what the charges are or what the future holds.>>>

FICTION

The little red book of dreams

The brutality of a rope

11-Oct-2007
Still dark. A rope and torn nails. Emptiness beneath steps. I’m innocent. Stares. Faceless women in black. The early morning of a summer of burning suns. My father pushes the crowd. The crowd is pushing me. I slip through the legs, hips and shoulders to find a gap. I rise and don’t reach. I walk and don’t move. I sit on the dusty road. Nothing happens. I am bored. I look for the green pebbles or blue. I want to make a wall around me. Half sky, half forest. But the world has only grey pebbles.>>>
