Awaiting the High Holidays

I sit here in my home on the Lower East Side Awaiting the High Holidays The years have come and gone and they have not always been easy for me Believe me - I am not the best Jew in the world But I do attend on the most sacred of days I write poetry on various topics - including Middle Earth Bur scoffers non withstanding I will pray to the creator and I will continue to love our lovely blue orb
