“Colonizers write about flowers. I tell you about children throwing rocks at Israeli tanks seconds before becoming daisies. I want to be like those poets who care about the moon. Palestinians don’t see the moon from jail cells and prisons. It’s so beautiful, the moon. They’re so beautiful, the flowers. I pick flowers for my dead father when I’m sad. He watches Al Jazeera all day. I wish Jessica would stop texting me Happy Ramadan. I know I’m American because when I walk into a room something dies. Metaphors about death are for poets who think ghosts care about sound. When I die, I promise to haunt you forever. One day, I’ll write about the flowers like we own them.”

“ক্ষুধা ও সৌন্দর্যবোধের মধ্যে গভীরসম্পর্ক রয়েছে। যে-সব দেশে অধিকাংশ মানুষঅনাহারী, সেখানে মাংসল হওয়া রূপসীর লক্ষণ; যে-সব দেশে প্রচুর খাদ্য আছে,সেখানে মেদহীন হওয়া রূপসীর লক্ষণ। এজন্যেই হিন্দি আর বাঙলা ফিল্মের নায়িকাদের দেহ থেকে মাংস চর্বি উপচে পড়ে। ক্ষুধার্ত দর্শকেরা সিনামা দেখে না, মাংস ও চর্বি খেয়ে ক্ষুধা নিবৃত্ত করে।”
