I read about rural women in Afghanistan, how
They feared the Taliban, relied on the Taliban, feared the
Taliban again. They did not understand the myth
Of urban women wanting education. Women of
The countryside wanted food, peace. What did digital
Pictures mean to them? Did they have cellphones on a platform
Of mountains blocking signals, but not bombs, drones. Magic
Could explain the craziness of liberators hiring enemies. It goes
Without saying that normal life, in these times, goes poof.
