Othello

Othello dances in my head
With romeo and juliet
Kate winslet and dicaprio
Baz luhrman doesn't rhyme
With rumplestiltskin

Away

China is in civil war once again
And othello protects hong kong and kowloon
in the background the countryside starves and burns

No water
No rice
No weapons

The city and the country
The tide turns in the country's favor

Othello does he best to smoke them out
But despite his lords expensive weapons
They have the numbers, and the IEDs

Where do the capoeira fighters burst in?
Or the break dancers and the rappers?
Or the diva opera singer who won't record la wally?
Of course make room for the cook and the thief and his wife and her
lover?
Or the self aware statesman from antigone?
Or the engineer who makes the book of the seed?
Or the giant, the greatest swordsman and the sicilian?

I know that desdemona, meets the little prince who asks her to "desine
moi un mouton"

I know that othello trusts iago with his life, and that he given him all
his secrets

I know that iago loved desdemona first, and saw them love, in a way he
could not love, and the sight of creation stirred satan in his breast to
devour him

I know that othello does not know his father, his mother was a virgin
and a slave, and he was found by fighting monks sworn to serve the
emperor who took him to train at shaolin temple, and all the monks were
against it

I know that the emperor attempted to kill all the monks and got most of
them - and that he betrayed his teachers to fight for the emperor in
hong kong rather than stay in country

I know that othello feels like an outsider every minute of his life. He
knows has never stopped running. He knows he has never stopped fighting.
He knows that he has no home. He knows that has never had a home.

I know that desdemona loves him, the outsider. She loves him because he
sees her and loves her and fought for her and risked his life for her,
and would die for her.

I know that desdemona does not how deeply hungry othello is. How deeply
he must posses her. How deeply has to own her.
