I know; anyone’s shower accessories had better match up with her/his body type! So that “feathers” left between teeth and sex can be veiled! Pari, the queen, wasn’t devoid of corporeality! She was an existing body in our shared cage with bodiless sparrows! Here too, the contrast between singing, millet, and gypsies dancing, on one hand, and spa, steak, and darling of the great jailhouse of capitalism, on the other hand, won’t leave us alone! Pari, however, was the absolute minority; that was perhaps why even if she felt like biting on our cheeks or the leg of a sparrow every now and then, we would turn a blind eye at her and let ourselves get distracted from eloquence of Beh-azin, Ebtehaj, Bani-Torofi and their mustaches and forget all about Kafka! You have to paint time and again; to draw, to listen, to dance, to disperse millet seeds, and to wipe windows more compulsively than before! This way, Pari might see the red scares on our bodies more vividly from behind the window! Perchance, we can share the same boat one day! Who knows, nothing is impossible, except ceasing to remember whole details of farewell picture; Ghezel Hesar prison, 1352 Shamsi (1973)!
