excerpt from THE magazine
Jamali-Kamali:

Again, an orange fog has come.
Where have you been, Kamali,
are you a whoremonger?

Why is your head
always in my books?
Storms are heading south
from the Himalayas.
Gather your belongings,
we will do some travelling.

Tonight we will study maps
by the light of my oil lamp,
to educate you
in more ways than one.

I ordered the kheer
drugged with love potions.
Have some.

On the map of your body, there is nowhere I would not travel.
