‘I'm
feeling a bit wabbit’
Told
me wabbit was my next poem and I followed her lead because she hasn’t been
wrong yet
Leads
me by my consonants and vowels like a roulette wheel to the liberated stars
I
was broken down and busted and only her context pulled me through the meat and
potatoes storm
Came
out of the FB ether like a traveling salesman in a Maysles documentary where
youth springs eternal once you open the grey door and buy a bible from a thief
in the gas chamber night
They
broke the windows and did their worst because vigilante justice is oftentimes
the only way to make your point when justice has become skewed for those
wearing white pointy hoods
Sometimes
I like to go out into the middle of the street like Mary Tyler Moore, throw my
hat up in the air and scream I am a Jew hear me ROAR!
Nothing
feels better than when her invisible self sits on my invisible lap and we swap
stories of our storied childhoods
When
you find someone who champions you no matter how apoplectic you are it’s time
to put a ring on their finger and settle down
Even
though I’m not Scottish I knew what she meant when saying she was feeling “Quite
wobbly and wabbit.”, and it made me wish I could hold her tight until she again
felt right or the world burned all around us
