This is a poem I found on Twitter consisting of many tweets. I´m not quite sure if I have got the sequences right, but checking it out with the writer @ASE. I find the poem Habibi strong and beautiful.

Always ten minutes too late,

TweetPoem 1:
Habibi
Habibi,
I loved you again,
Habibi,
I loved you before,
So
please forget the fighting,
Our
fighting, and their fighting
For
it does not dare compare
Even
in the most casual of contrasts
Ours
is a love Theirs is a passion
Our
sign is eternity Theirs is clashing
Do
not deny my love, As you deny their dwellings.
Just
complete me, lets stand corrected
For
if I am wrong, then life is wrong too
I
love you Habibi, And have always loved you
in
the well I will crawl,
in
the hell of this brawl.
where
our souls can tell secrets in the sun
where
we realized we could be one
where
our passions need not be polite
meet
me there Habibi, meet me there tonight.
not
alone in our surroundings, but visible to none

TweetPoem 3:
I began to like New York
Dazzling
lights and dizzying heights,
determined
to make it mine
riding
the subway,
waiting
in line,
for
tickets.
Rare
to be asleep past nine.
Smelling
nuts roasting
above
the 1/9,
that
is now the 1/2/3.
Always
changing,
relocating,
windy
outside,
as
workers pass by.
Buying
bagels, out of hands.
Beggars
under poles
and
homeless on the trains,
making
high demands
for
loose change.
Walking
fast,
workers
pass by.
Walking
fast,
Always ten minutes too late,
though
I should learn
to
remain in one place,
and
slow down, and take it in,
and
breathe.
I
liked New York
as
the fall began
like
a baby crawls
to
a stumbling stand
