DREAMS AT NOON: Dreams of a foreign student who is desperately homesick…

I sit there  

In that classroom

dreaming

of those naked bodies

genital flapping in the mud

these are future generations

playing hide and seek.

I sit there

listening to academic talks

and dreaming

of those solid chests

heaving with strength

these are mothers

recruiting the forces of nature.

I sit there

talking mathematics

and dreaming

of those naked arms

fanning machetes in the breeze

these are war heroes

past and present

he pillars of life and defense.
