The wind blows so hard through the riverside in slow then fast the wind pushes me inside, the coffee promises a good time to last a ride back home, for me it doesn't get much better it doesn't have to
The cafe was so warm that I took my coat off and the food looks tasty in the display in the mood for quiche? or maybe a cookie or two please, I got the person behind me that's my friend the breeze pushed them in to remind me of how lucky I can be

The figure of yourself (name redacted) appears at the corner of Aesthetics and Nostalgia
So the roulette wheel of impressions disappears behind curtains where on stage, who should near
The stranger to yourself who inhabits your stare above, beneath With teeth like plastic chairs
The figure of yourself (name reviled) desires their gruesome styles and their teeth and perfect hairs
repeat as needed, yourself (name unimportant) will see the curse a message you will not heed
repeat as needed, yourself (arguably? who cares?) will see that this is the only way, to feel

Mezquitas de Puerto Rico is an ongoing collaboration between Alia Farid and Jesús "Bubu" Negrón on the representation of Islam in the Caribbean. Renderings/depictions have so far resulted in a series of prayer rugs of mosques in the Puerto Rican towns of Hatillo, Vega Alta, Fajardo, Rio Piedras, and Ponce, and postcards of the same places. For the carpet-kilims series, the mosques were photographed in the spring of 2013 and later interpreted by weavers from Mashhad, Iran.
