יום יב׳ של העומר
An aspiring optimist
drinks Awareness and strong coffee
she touches her chest
when she spits at the newspapers
and spreads a spoonful of horseradish
on her expensive, flatbread of Redemption.
קציצות לב
The Rebbetzin put my heart
in the food processor
added salt pepper and onions
rolled mush into ketzitzot
and placed them
on the holy Shabbos shulchan aruch.
on the holy Shabbos shulchan aruch.
The chicken and the egg
A chicken and an egg
made love
each deperately grasping for pleasure
at three, the chicken lit a joint
and melted into the pillow
with exhausted satisfaction.
The poor, embittered egg
rolled over and sighed
lamenting the discovery of
who came first.
