Haiku


good, bad, or so-so
taste is bitter as our tongue;
in our fingertips

I'm having a hard time sussing this one out. Is it supposed to say "as bitter?"

trying to say that life is as we experience it personally it, not as it objectively is.like marah'[s waters being bitter because THEY were bitter, the people (medrash). and then i did a switcheroo,having already used tong/taste i didn't want to say on the tip of our tongue so i said in our fingertips...
