Husband
My wife causes all sorts of trouble.
When she yells my full name I run on the double.
Three children and pets are running up debt.
All my wife says is, “Try not to fret!”
So under my breath I just grumble.
Wife
My husband operates like a louse.
He scurries to his man cave like a mouse.
When I ask him a question above his head forms a bubble.
Picking his brain is like rummaging through rubble.
Tonight he will sleep in the dog house.

Istanbul is a city bristling with life, a place where past and present, sacred and profane, intertwine under the watchful gaze of the Sultan Ahmet Mosque. As I explore this crossroads of cultures with Maya, my nine-year-old niece and the daughter of my late brother-in-law Frank, and my wife Nadia, Frank's sister, I find myself on a journey not just through Istanbul's history, but also into the depths of my own beliefs. Staying with Maya and her mother Elvan, my sister-in-law, I begin to see the city anew through their eyes, and to understand why James Baldwin said it "revived" him.
