hey all,
wow. its been a while. i'm not sure who's still reading, so i guess i'm just blogging "l'shma". if anyone's still interested in reading, please feel free to comment. now that the school year's started, my creative energy is back again (i.e. i'm spacing out alot in classes, thus allowing me to write plenty of crappy poems).
and alot has happened in the life. but thats not for the blog. thats for real life. the blog is just for the poetry.
anyways, Rosh Hashana was a strange time this year, and this actual experience occured that inspired me to write the following....i pray that it is not a siman ra (bad omen) for the year.
please G-d.
peace all.

"an empty fragment"
by zenjew
on Rosh Hashana eve
on the rusty metal bench
waiting Outside
when the proud teenager walks by
heading blurring parades and
slowly turns and points his
black baseball bat
at a slouching forehead
and gazes at the wall behind
and pronounces
You’re dead.

Now you got me totally intrigued! Hey Zen, your poetry was missed... glad youre enjoying school.
About the omen... think nothing of it. Totally disregard!
Oh... Shana Tova, gemar chatima tova... and have an easy and meaningful fast and yom kippur!
wow you guys are right back on the bandwagon! thanks so much for such quick responses!
all the best, and gemar chasima tova.
its so ambiguous, i can easily translate it as something positive - lots of negative, unnecessary thigns id liek to smack with a baseball bat and declare dead..
glad ure back!
Ah, yes, i've seen guys like this before. I may have the story wrong, but here's what i think really happened: This "proud teenager" came by & saw the poet on the bench. Now, the poet was not the poet at this moment, the poet was everything this teenager could have been but wasn't, this was a projection on the teenager's part. The teenager saw what he could have been & rightfully pronounced that version of his self dead
