Inside Syria’s Capitol: Nervously Normal
 
A Discovery News source describes the odd juxtaposition of fear and normality in Damascus.
  
For days, Homs, the third-largest city in Syria, has endured shelling, tanks and attacks by heavy weaponry. Syrian protestors react with more violence against forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad, resulting in all-out war zones in some residential neighborhoods.
 
Citizens of Homs cower in their homes, too afraid to emerge onto the streets even to care for the dead and dying. But Discovery News talked to a source in the capitol city of Damascus — who declined to be named for this article for fear of retribution from the government — and the source said people there are living very differently, in many ways.
 
“I’m living a normal life and can’t do anything (to help). There are cities with no electricity, no water, no food and no medicine,” the source said.
 
There are daily power outages in Damascus, but, “people who happened to live in Damascus are just fine,” the source said, “You feel the tension and stress in the air … but you can’t hear (the bombs. If I could,) I would have gone nuts.”

If I interviewed you, and then someone read you back your supposed quote, you would likely recognize immediately that the words weren’t yours. And your immediate thought would be that I misquoted you, and am therefore a shoddy journalist. And you would rightfully decide not to speak to me again, and possibly tell your colleagues to do the same. As... - http://elizs.tumblr.com/post...

Sonnet of Intimacy
  
(after Vinicius de Moraes)
  
Farm afternoons, there’s much too much blue air.
I go out sometimes, follow the pasture track,
Chewing a blade of sticky grass, chest bare,
In threadbare pajamas of three summers back,
 
To the little rivulets in the river-bed
For a drink of water, cold and musical,
And if I spot in the brush a glow of red,
A raspberry, spit its blood at the corral.
 
The smell of cow manure is delicious.
The cattle look at me unenviously
And when there comes a sudden stream and hiss
Accompanied by a look not unmalicious,
All of us, animals, unemotionally
Partake together of a pleasant piss.
