Homebody, everybody, fun on Chanukah, parties, family and friends, included, not included, creative solitary moments, in touch with the Divine, holy purifications not needed, purer than new fallen snow, whiter than white even wearing black, Daddy's girl, doctors lawyers, protected and sheltered, well fed, free foods, watching cholesterol intake, glucose counts, counting but not money, enjoying the richest of viands at no cost, you Barren One who did not travail, dancing with women not with men, kicking up heels and participating in all--One in all, all in One. Convert and stranger, ger, meaning "sojourn," legal contract that proves my Judaism, their family rumors, untruths, a line of people with broken lineages, descendant of King David, the Anointed One. Xmas celebrations and turning baby Jesus into baby Moses, not seeing stores' Xmas decorations, spared of the hype, radio stations from Tel Aviv Israel, mysteries and myths. Women deserving human rights, women purer than the snow, tougher than nails, sweeter than candy, nicer than nice, smarter than smart. Learning everyday and teaching born Jews, Jews who know nothing, Rabbis telling me to be a Rabbi, Rabbis speaking, and I am listening, learning, guru and librarian with all the answers. Ask me 4 questions and I will give you 70 answers! But not if you don't want to know. Open books, reading same books 1000 times, learning something new each time, guided by the spirits, spirits are angels, keeping an empty glass without water at bedside, not thirsty, not demonic, protected as a orphan, ger, fatherless, widow, poor, Levite, always in a shell. But not eating shellfish. And not selfish, sharing my poetry with the world, read on and delight in creative wisdom: Cho-achma is wisdom, the language of the wise. Wiser with age and older everyday, wiser everyday. Women who are wise. Deborah the Judge, judges but not judgmental, Judge Judy--You won the case, pay up. Poetry for free because food is free. Eat up, read up and enjoy!
