Yasser Arafat (b. Mohammed Abdel-Raouf Arafat al-Qudwa al-Hussaini) B. 8.4.1929 Cairo / D. ? Paris Something to do with blood But there�s a terrible alarm outside a whooping clanging loop of bell and siren. The night�s become a gong. The ones I feel for are the cats the ones in here and outside in the courtyard where it�s ringing off the brick. Tender ears I cannot spare.
Not like the time my downstairs neighbor Gilda and I went into Petland and the electronic door alert double-chime was kaput in the worst way, ding-donging every ten seconds, door open or not. Following the torture to its source I found a speaker mechanism draped from a nail just above the row of rabbit cages. Then I knew what torture was. All the rabbits were wide awake and lying on their sides, one ear each beneath them. So I made sure no Petland employees were watching and then I reached out and unplugged the thing. Come to think I haven�t heard it since and that must have been Eastertime. But this I'm powerless to silence.
Which rankles me with this alarm that I�d been very mellow in the wake of my decision to no longer follow politics but now I�m getting very tense again. A horrible alarm, at heart a yelp of pain replayed to echo and something like a single snippet of a choked involuntary cry repeating in the mezzo role. I�ve finally shut the windows even though I know I�ll forfeit some of my reward: the reward of when it stops.
