Great poem, showing the desperation, disappointment, and tragedy of those queueing or jostling outside the airport at Kabul. These are scenes that should not be happening, one way or another, a modern horror story. What went wrong? What could...

Hilarious! Did this really happen? In a school? Very funny, and great characters. Is it based on real memories or characters?

Great poem summarising a scene which does seem very moving, after looking at it on your link. I may have seen it before, but had forgotten. This idea of an android with a conscience, and a memory, but nonetheless a job to do, is very powerful! He...
