He plays a train
She plays a whistle
Theymove awaytravel.
He plays a rope
She plays a tree
They swing.
He plays a dream
She plays a feather
They fly.
He plays ageneralleader
She plays people
They declare war.
— Dunya Mikhail, Iraqui poet living in Michigan, emended by Emna Zghal in War: an Essay (2005).
