JFK, MLK, RFK all shot dead
Rabin and Sadat both shot dead
Nasrallah and the Ayatollah slain
Reagan, Trump, so many others shot at
Who aspires to international leadership
Death the price of membership
I have ever wanted to play soccer
That will stimulate my destruct anger of robust
Calling the world’s largest poets to spill out their words of wisdom
That will generate in quantum of sodium
The hot weather has tangle its triangle
Putting the bangle in the hats of a successor
Labeling the successful man to become an angel of poetry
Trying to eat the poetic food which is prepared by a fool
My Rabin has settled towards the rainbow
Blowing my whirl towards the air
Causing the wind to turn sideways
By the wind van which is dragged like a turmoil of
A stagger
Settling on the pave of sickness
Worrying about the pandemic queen to depart its children known as Corona and Virus!
ALL RIGHTS MUST BE RESERVED!!
Every time we make love
I stand with
one hair
In my mouth
To get to you I need to cross Dizengoff via Ben Gurion
Nathan Zach through Rabin Square and Iben Gvirol
To turn in to King David and make a right
Ascend the step
Rolling towards the silence of the blossoming stairwell
To the lift that always
Opens like a Mercedes
And drives me directly to the streets of your arms
By the way,
Do you remember my throwing up in your car?
It was from love.
