This prose poem, written by Mr. Rab, describes the lack of organization and the confusion prevalent in Cairo as the citizens go about their work each day. This poem has a metaphorical take on the aspects of human nature that one might observe in Cairo.
Mr. Rab uses loaded imagery when he describes his feelings. An unusual catch, some may say, towards the daily excitement in the big city. Mr. Rab also uses much symbolism, for instance “…Cairenes mentally rehearse the choreography of the cosmopolitan, dance-like shuffle.” This beautifully explains the locals’ daily routes through the streets of the prosperous city. Through this poem, Mr. Rab shows his poetic and imaginative side not often seen in the classroom. He gives his explanation of the city’s hustle and bustle on a daily basis within just a few lines, a real talent that calls for much preparation and understanding when writing.
