I was looking through my folder on my computer in the documents section (where I keep papers I write or find that I like) and I came across this poem.

Omar Ali (b 1938)

ONE DAY A MAN

One day a man came and asked me: Can you draw?
What? I asked
Draw me a woman, he said:
a well shaped woman,
strangely beautiful, arrogant, with cruel poise.
I want a faultless sketch.

But why? I asked him again.
I shall burn it: he replied.

I don't remember why I have it (or saved it), I don't even know why I like it. But I do.
