RAZA ALI HASAN
40
Where the ever-rolling concrete comes to a stop and junks drop anchor for metaphysical comfort,
stands the emporium of water sculptures where bargain hunters converge and stand at attention
as God fixes interest rates, hands out short- and long-term loans, and makes nations rise and fall the way the sea ebbs and flows.
