Hola, Chavistas de Roosevelt
Middle School.
I just want to tell you
I think you’re beautiful and fly and cool

I loved the letters
that you recently sent my way.
All your comments and questions

and read them at Jitters,
a coffee cafe,

I got up early this morning to watch the Egyptian revolution unfold. Turned on Al Jazeera and BBC to watch live coverage of the hundreds of thousands converging and rallying in Tahrir Square in Cairo. They had called today for a “million person march.”

And rally they did. All kinds of Egyptians have converged into Cairo, all religions, all genders, all classes, and all ages. Lots of women, lots of children. It is a festive affair, and some observers called it Egypt’s “Woodstock.”
