THE SEASON OF MIGRATION TO ANYWHERE

(A Collection of Short Stories)

TOURISM X

1 -) With Man (Song):

American blue-eyed beauties
We owe them so much
Our girls are set free
Even the ugliest ones
Are under demand
You hear nothing but "OK, OK!"
That’s just the way it is!

In bus stops, in stations
I cannot find my turn
Right and left
My word is worthless
Carriages are busy all day long
Thanks to the Americans.
You hear nothing but "OK, OK!"
That’s just the way it is!

They delivered sweets, fluorine
Chewing gum and dollars
Even our old women turned to drink Rum
With the Americans
You hear nothing but "OK, OK!"
"Come on!", "Bye-Bye!"

Too much humiliation pouring down on our heads
But people all around are satisfied
American charity suits them
And our women are always winning
You hear nothing but "OK, OK!"
"Give me dollars! "

"The Blue Eye", Song, 1945

2 -) Below Man (Piece of Information):

"... It is likely that the girls have been drugged by the foreign tourist to have a better management of the actresses when filming, especially that some images show his "sadism" and "brutality" during his intercourses with his "victims". One of the scenes shows him urinating on one of its partners"…

The Foreign Tourist Commenting On ThePiece Of Information:

"I want to clarify that I can be guilty of many other crimes but I can never be condemned for bringing insult to the image of this city which has always been so centuries before I visited it. What I have actually done is nothing but exposing these practices occurring daily in your area. "

3 -) Below Animals (Another Piece of Information):

"A group of girls has been arrested for the crime of prostitution while their foreign customers were sent back to their countries (...)

This case seems to be related to the discovery of some girls (...) infected with a "strange disease" that they may have had, according to rumors, by sleeping with dogs belonging to foreign tourists"…
