In oblivious camp
\nThe guard threw shoes at us
\nMy pair was too big to fill
\nMore suited to Tariq
\nThough mine were newer
\nTariq’s were old
\nAnd bound to be
\nA little too snug
\nSeeing more than a pair
\nIn his eyes
\nMore than a trader
\nAs a Spanish Moor
\nDon quixotically
\nHis feat covered
\nIn such a broad cast
\nO Don my don
\nWon
\nNever entreating
\nMe mirrorly
\nFor what
\nI had
\nMy number coming up
\nFinding myself only
\nEqual to death
\nIn life
\nAnd awe full
\nThat’s going on<\/p>\n

WARNING: This commentary contains spoilers — and\/or clues.<\/p>\n

This 92-word poem is packed with overlapping and intertwined cultural references.\u00a0 First, the initial inspiration came from an unexpected source, a source to which I stumbled upon, from a momentary image in the graphic novel, Maus<\/em>, by Art Spiegelman, where he chronicles his parents’ experiences as Holocaust survivors; specifically in a short “Making of Maus” presentation by PBS. A character commented on the shoes he was thrown by a concentration camp guard paying no attention whatsoever to matching the shoe with the man.\u00a0 This struck me as a surreal brandishing of a perversed proverb, “If the show doesn’t fit, wear it.”<\/p>\n

Fast forward to today.\u00a0 Instead of in a concentration camp, the setting is an “oblivious camp,” a self-parody of the horror of genocide.\u00a0 Given a recipient named Tariq, the implied guard is an Israeli, a Zionist, maybe even a Jew (this is the author speaking).\u00a0 The apparent irony of Israeli fascism is further multiplied by shoe throwing as an especially insulting gesture to Arabs.\u00a0 The guard neither knows nor cares.<\/p>\n

The story is told in unnamed first-person.\u00a0 Those who know me, the author, know that I am not Palestinian.\u00a0 Those who really<\/em> know me, know that I am Palestinian — at least if weave ever metaphor.\u00a0 The narrator has a newer, “better” pair compared to his companion shoe receiver, Tariq.\u00a0 The “too big to fill” as well as “pair” also refer to a man’s balls, i.e., courage.\u00a0 The hubris of violent retribution may pass for courage, yet, remain “too big to fill.”\u00a0 Something of a higher spiritual nature is lacking, preventing fulfillment.\u00a0 Being puffed up with worldly power also leaves us cramped spiritually.\u00a0 The “too big to fill” is also a reference to “big shoes to fill,” meaning of a challengingly high moral fulfillment — “More suited to Tariq.”\u00a0 While Tariq’s shoes (and balls) were old, he was “Bound to be,<\/em>” to exist freely in his being and be bound in his existence.\u00a0 To the unschooled, “A little too snug” can appear as cramped, naive, even smug. But, alas, “Seeing more than a pair,” there is more to life than mere possessions, or even worldly courage.\u00a0 “Seeing more than a pair\/In his eyes,” is the meeting of souls, through truly looking into the eyes, the windows of the soul, and seeing one another’s humanity.\u00a0 “More than a pair” alludes to more than a pair of shoes, more than even a pair of companion souls, including and transcending even the oblivious guard, alluding the an ever-mysterious, even awe full third.<\/p>\n

Ironically, Tariq means conqueror.\u00a0 And conquering covers a lot a ground (often with blood).\u00a0 The Spanish Moor reference deepens the “More than a trader” reference, alluding to more than simply trading tit for tat, more than trading by means of outright conquering, and more than a traitor by alternating roles as oppressor and oppressed in life.\u00a0 The Moors were African (black), Arab, and Muslim.\u00a0 They occupied “Spain” for 800 years beginning in 711 AD.\u00a0 Tariq ibn Ziyad was the conquering Moor general.\u00a0 They brought literacy and “civilization” to Spain.\u00a0 The ironies emanating from such history into contemporary life exceed perhaps even that of the most famous Jew, Jesus, a Palestinian <\/em>Jew, <\/em>now portrayed as a Christian.\u00a0 Now, the black Arab, Muslim, Spanish Moor reference turns on Spanish culture with Tariq’s Don<\/em> status, meaning a lord or gentleman, or even mafia boss; plus, there is the allusion to donning another’s shoes as need be even amidst one’s idealism (Don quixotically).\u00a0 “His feat covered” alludes to accomplishments lost to history, met with the acceptance and certainty of death.\u00a0 The inevitable turning of fates does not confound the wise man who sees these as the inexorable breathing in and out of history.<\/p>\n

Back to the narrator, “In such a broad cast,” the oblivious dropping of the shoe of history upon us engenders the seeking of redemption in the equanimity of Tariq the conqueror now vanquished of earthly victory.\u00a0 “O Don my don\/Won” is a cry to a Don with a capital D from a don with a lowercase d to move beyond simply donning one set of circumstances after another in a perpetually unfulfilling chase for the ultimate tale — or whatever tale won can muster.\u00a0 Here lies the reference to “don Won” (Don Juan), history’s most notorious tale chaser, ever confident in youth’s distance from death, ever accessible superficialities, and repentance as procrastination’s crowning achievement in the face of a God sow loving.\u00a0 What good is clinging to victories when death, the great equalizer, stands over us?<\/p>\n

The narrator suspects that Tariq might have an answer.\u00a0 The narrator’s cry “O Don my don” is a venerable ripoff of Walt Whitman’s, “O Captain, My Captain,” about Abraham Lincoln and his death, reminding us that after even achieving epic victory (e.g., freedom from slavery), our greatest will eventually fall cold and dead, and we will each be left with “mournful tread” as we seek to fulfill our own soul’s purposes without the benefit of particular great souls by our side.\u00a0 \"When<\/a>The narrator’s cry to Tariq, all ready as good as dead, confesses his unreciprocated vanity: “Never entreating\/Me mirrorly\/For what\/I had.”\u00a0 No matter how high we might be able to crank up our number, our number always comes up.\u00a0 Tariq lives and dies in this essential equality.\u00a0 Tariq sees beyond the pinings that box us in.\u00a0 Mysteriously, the challenge becomes clearer when we have little to cling to, and perhaps clearer still, when what we cling to is an unbefitting shoe, freeing us though its tragic comedy.\u00a0 Know longer cluttered by the stuff of life, the narrator confronts a new reality: “Finding myself only\/Equal to death\/In life\/And awe full\/That’s going on.”\u00a0 As the awful is going on, may you find yourself full of awe, for that’s going on!<\/p>\n
