Gate A-4 by Naomi Shihab Nye

"Wandering around the Albuquerque Airport Terminal, after learning
my flight had been delayed four hours, I heard an announcement:
'If anyone in the vicinity of Gate A-4 understands any Arabic, please
come to the gate immediately.'

Well—one pauses these days..."

I've been harassed
By too
Many people;
All people!

And I remember everything;
Even the dreams
I was awake!

I won't let them alter
My memories

I know well
What glitches are

I know everything

I don't always look
But I always know
Where to look

I was homeless;
I was abused;
I had
Motion sickness

Where was
I supposed
To be?
How was
I supposed
To be?

When I wasn't walking
I was
In a corner
All alone
Quietly resting
For a little while
And they came
To attack me

Is there
Any fairness
To see
The true reality?

Is this
How you treat
An abused homeless?

A suffering
Vulnerable human
With motion sickness?

What kind
Of a person
Would oppose
A homeless
This way?

A moral human
Wouldn't show
This kind
Of hate
With exaggerated lies
Against a homeless

Their rapes
Caused me
Bodily harm
I'm trying
To heal
But it might be
Too late

This may have caused
Or may cause
False realities
Against me

It'd be unfair
If the guilty win
With their sly tactics
But I'll fight
To show
Who's really innocent

Thank you Myna Chang for this lovely little interview with Mahaila Smith about their upcoming poetry collection SEED BEETLE! "The sweep of the story feels epic, almost mythical. Each poem brings another grain of understanding, building a complex world."

Now I want to say something else. I recently made an SF worldbuilding setting for TTRPG, and I'm currently transforming what I wrote into narrative poems, so that's a different story by comparison to the haikus. The narrator is a character returning from a voyage. There are collective characters, certain social groups central to the tale. There are also individual characters, responsible for pivotal events.
