Honestly!

Honestly!

Was the city insanely glamorous?

Did people bow to each other on the streets?

Was it great fun 

to move with ease from a fabulous A to a stunning B?

Did not many loved ones let her down?

was she not a stranger 

-sometimes

in her hometown?

Was the whole thing an absolute blast?

That it was!

Busy mad noisy wild polluted chaotic REAL

Did she not say to herself out loud

Of an evening

"I am basking in unregulated bliss"

Whatever that means

Then why,

Exactly,

has her heart stayed behind in Cairo

Way down there,

Underneath all the clouds?
