Algiers is burning again and it seems as if the global media is intent on linking the recent bombings as a part of the skein of jihadism. God-forbid the Algerians acutally have their own political struggles. God-forbid some reject our own ideological ordering of the world. Let's hold hands and leap across the vast chasm of understanding and find bleary-eyed refuge in these incessantly colorful re-runs.

Madame Rieux
She always is standing
On a ledge atop the landing
And we feign a smile
Because we’ve reached an understanding
Not to think or dwell on anything of import
Despite this precarious precipice
Our conversation drifts
From the slight to exegesis
Her voice begs for comfort
And I cannot resist
To lie about my relationship with abstraction
On a ledge atop the landing
And we feign a smile
Because we’ve reached an understanding
Not to think or dwell on anything of import
Despite this precarious precipice
Our conversation drifts
From the slight to exegesis
Her voice begs for comfort
And I cannot resist
To lie about my relationship with abstraction
