You in Stranger-Court

Inventive portrait of a world-trekking hotel-housekeeper who recounts her 'dialysis' examination in a (secret/buried) time-capsule report (for future archaeologists).

A yarn about the Western worldly complexity linked with the controversy-rich IRA, which I think you'll like. Inspired (very loosely) by The Devil's Own (Harrison Ford).

I'd been working as a hotel maid in NYC (very prestigious) and decided to take a summer tour to the UK (Belfast) where I'd work for just one season as a maid/housekeeper-lady for a contour-look or 'view' for comparison of such labors across the Atlantic, but boy I'd no clue I'd have to think seriously about a leviathan in Western civilization that had nothing to do with Israel-Palestine paranoia or petrol (Facebook-like!).

My name's Ezzy, and I enjoyed working in the West (American Homeland) as a housekeeper-lady at my very-nice hotel in NYC where I picked up the nifty human-femme tricks-of-the-trade for hospitality readings concerning the 'field' goals of lifestyle-comforts upkeep and intuitions for the Ego (sure!).

CONCIERGE: You want to take a view for troubled Northern Ireland, lady?
EZZY: Why not...for bureaucracy's arts?

CONCIERGE: Is it ever really safe there for tourists/trekkers, lady?
EZZY: Why not...for humanity's study?

CONCIERGE: Come back for autumn-in-NY, lady?

EZZY: Why not...for folk reaches?

CONCIERGE: Facebook-like?

CONCIERGE (Belfast): Welcome to our 'institution' for tourism bread/fruit, Ezzy.

EZZY: I look very-forward to a working-study...Bartleby-like, friend.

CONCIERGE (Belfast): This is a troubles-land (sure); tourism is a top hat, Ezzy.

EZZY: Good to know/think, friend; this is a UK hand-axes for transit-bureau.

CONCIERGE (Belfast): Sure...Selfie-like.

MR. AMLAN SATAN: Greetings, maid.

EZZY (Me): You're the lone-agent of this 'Foreign Irish Republican Army' now?

AMLAN: Algerian-American, Bostonian, Catholic, immigrant; Belfast visitor/alien!

EZZY (Me): You're doing some (private/covert) eco-capitalism works now?
AMLAN: Interpol-relation; blood-diamond vehicle intercept; commerce-policy IQ.

EZZY (Me): So...you're a thief.

AMLAN: I'd not tell you such things had I thought you some 'enemy' of Parliament.

EZZY (Me): Consumerism/diamonds/insurance linked pluralism reforms?

AMLAN: Without clean diamond-trade in Belfast, commerce is unholy!

EZZY (Me): You're telling me this only now because we're dating in Belfast now.

AMLAN: You said it; I need not inform you of the dowry of Black/Tans record.

EZZY (Me): I know it...ex-vet/con stern force for Protestant controls in Belfast?

AMLAN: Hellmouth; Catholic-Protestant imagery ruins for everyday markets.

EZZY (Me): So...you love me.

AMLAN: Facebook-like!

AMLAN: Versed in colonialism literature, maid?
EZZY: I've read some (college-years), stranger.

AMLAN: Well, it's no walk in the libraries, surely.

EZZY: You're from Algeria, so you're versed in French colonialism, no?

AMLAN: I prefer American records for politics-IQ (e.g., Boston Tea Party!).

EZZY: Is this hell on Earth, stranger?

AMLAN: You said it, maid (ok).

What did I make of my journey in Belfast that summer-season of incomplete-lines imagery for hospitality/hell? Well, I'll always remember that cute-stranger character (Mr. Amlan Satan), who confided in me his 'James Bond' work for veiled consumerism-vigilante for enhanced Catholic-Protestant commerce-lifestyle policy 'consciousness' for UK-Parliament (wow). Back in New York (American Homeland), I now contemplate the Selfie-commerce borders/lands of lifestyle comforts and think of the pockets for markets concerning the Realism behind social media 'culture' helmets (for all!).
