A tale of height and hair
Mom wanted Abraham to marry the girl of her choice.
Abraham, “What is the height of the girl”?
Mom, “Five feet two inches around”
Abraham “I want to marry a taller girl”.
Mom, “She’s tall. Her height maybe five feet, two to four inches plus or minus”.
Abraham “How much longer is her hair than Kenny’s”.
Mom, “A couple of hands will be longer or shorter”.
Abraham, “How can I get married like this?”
Mom, “I gave a good description. You like taller girls and long hair. She has both qualities.
Abraham, “Difference would be just a couple of inches.”

Long Night
I haven’t seen the foreign sun in months. It wasn’t mine, but it was better than nothing. And now there is nothing. From the comfort of the climate-controlled embassy, I watch the shadowy figures pass my window, their edges blurred by the late winter squall. It’s easy to tell us from them. We hurry home in the winter—wearing anything less than a pressure suit means hypothermia in minutes and death in under an hour. They stroll, meander, stop to throw snowballs at each other. All Alwa’an seem to have snowball fights in common, at least. Or maybe what we actually have in common is senseless violence.
