đ§ď¸ When You Remember Me
A Song of Rain and Remembrance
If ever I cross your mind someday,
Lose yourself in poems, let words softly play.
But promise me this, oh tender heartâs toneâ
Let no tears gather in your eyes alone.
When evening falls, and silence deep,
Think of yourself before you sleep.
If in your dreams a river flows free,
Know that I comeâyour dreamâs own sea.
When monsoon evenings turn astray,
And restless winds begin to sway,
Know I am there, in rainâs embrace,
Wrapped around your wistful face.
If ever you remember me once more,
Read the poems we wove before.
But keep your eyes from sorrowâs wellâ
Let no tear fall, no sadness dwell.
Open the windowâlook at the skies,
Let deep breaths in your chest arise.
Moments of dream will bloom anew,
Love will whisper its hush to you.
Send all your pain on exileâs road,
Let joy again be your heartâs abode.
If ever you remember me, softly soâ
Dwell in poems, and let no tears flow.

Trickle Them Down, But Not Out
The thing about smart people is that they should know better, but alas, intelligence is not the same as wisdom. Not only do the mistakes of experts too short on visionâwhen they are not correctedâhave the potential to do great and far-reaching damage, but they also undermine public confidence in the very notion of expertise. This is particularly so when expertise is wielded in defence of the rich and powerful as a cudgel against those laid low. As an academic, this lack of faith in âso-called expertsâ is painful to see as it plays out in the spread of dis-/misinformation, conspiracy theories, and anti-intellectualism writ large. But it is also an understandable impulse given the catastrophic failure of an economic ideology pushed by certain economic experts. Supply-side economics has shaped a broken system for the last half-century and has arguably done more to undermine the fabric of the American Dream than any policy framework of the past century.

This is beautiful. Rhymed couplets usually feel sing-songs to me and arenât my go-to, heroic couplets especially, but your use of iambic tetrameter instead of iambic pentameter alleviates that, and I donât find the rhyme intrusive. The emotion is conveyed so lyrically, with such lovely verbs and has such a linguistic resonance that itâs like a balm for the readerâs soul. Amazing.
