Poetry is the record of the Arabs

The art of poetry is Arabs, collected

Good poetry is a list of Arabs

To speak in verse is to remain in Arab memory

To surpass another poet is the Arab odyssey

Knowledge is the Arab living room

Feeling is what Arabs call the office

Falsehood is the Arab court of justice

Noticing is the Arab account-book

Reckoning is the Arab reckoning

Being awake is where Arabs rest their heads

Being aware is how Arabs anthologize

Plants are Arabs immortalized

Trees are the Arab board of advisers

Vegetation is the Arab chesterfield

Saffron is, for Arabs, stray poems gathered

Fur is the Arab sofa

What grows on the body is the Arab saga

Bristles are a gathering of Arabs

Hair is the Arab archive
