In The Middle of the Night I Outpour These Poems

IT WASN'T ABOUT THE MONEY

We asked each other

the question: what we'd do with

a million dollars

She was to keep her day job

And I would write this poem

------------------------

I WAS A YOUNG TWENTY-EIGHT

She didn't like that

I didn't write on the lines

Or have a job yet

WHO'S YOUR FAVORITE CHARACTER IN TANACH?

Hers was Nachshon, mine:

Poet, warrior: David

Those were our answers

And we stayed sticking to them

Ask me now? Achashveirosh

--------------------------

HER FAVORITE SAYING

"You win and you lose,"

she said: wise beyond her days.

Then I won and lost
