CURFEW

Afghan families in the west haven't changed a lot in the last thousand years.  Brother and I go to university.  If I'm half-hour later than usual returning from class, it's the third degree.  Him, out howling half the night.  His freedom comes to a crashing halt.  Big bathhouse raid, there's his face on the news on the web.
I try not to smirk as he gets the third degree for missing his bus after class.
