5 Before Sleep

He makes bad movies
that's my main problem with him
politics aside
(- on Spike Lee)

I write poetry
but isn't it more than that?
I breathe and speak it

Like a swimming pool -
who doesn't like a swimming pool?-
we need to stay clean

In Israel too
it takes over at some point
we lie down and sleep

Henceforth I forgive
anyone who angered me
hurt me anyway
