Hijab Scene #7
A powerful reminder. I've always loved this poem. No, I'm not bald under the scarf No, I'm not from that country where women can't drive cars No, I would not like to defect I'm already American But thank you for offering What else do you need to know relevant to my buying insurance, opening a bank account, reserving a seat on a flight? Yes, I speak English Yes, I carry explosives They're called words And if you don't get up Off your assumptions, They're going to blow you away
Mohja Kahf, 1995
