Jerusalem
your sidewalks are so soft
they feel like used mattresses
Jerusalem
even the most shmeagoly of your pigeons
Let’s try not to mention food while fasting
is a like metaphor for like peace
Jerusalem
I once plucked a pigeon but that was before
Jonathan Safran Foer turned me vegetarian See comment above
Jerusalem
Yehuda Amichai wrote poems about your pigeons
much better than I can
Today is a day for mournful, non-fauna-related poems only
Jerusalem
The other mourning I wandered your walls
with a lantern and a digital camera
and through the light and the lens
and the tourists pouring into the █████
I could see ████
through a crack in your ancient war wall.
Jerusalem
I think it’s weird how men often refer to you
like you are a █████
Jerusalem
You are not a █████
you are a city
Jerusalem
Do you agree that █████ shouldn’t
be referred to like they are cities
to walk on and █████ ██
and take by force and Thereby Unify
Jerusalem
Does the word ██████ make you uncomfortable?
Jerusalem
I want to grow an army of kids inside of your █████ and ████
Biblical caves
Jerusalem
I will send them to a BiUnilingual preschool
where they will learn both █████
and █████ Hebrew.
Jerusalem
This morning the guard patriot didn’t let me in
to visit your Western Wall
because I was wearing a shirt that said
“We are all ██ ██████”
What is ██ ██████ he asked
And I told him it means:
We are all rabbits.
But so and despite my insistence that we were all
relatively harmless lettuce actually, you’re good on this one, we don’t really
count it as “food unless it once had legs and a mother heh heh eating mammals
he did not let us pass
Jerusalem
Do you have need a permit to build there?
Jerusalem
On your ███████ front it was quiet and
some men saw my shirt and said great!
May God grant you prosperity.
Come and ███ with us (again: fasting here)
But we said no thank you, because often ███████s do not eat graze
upon heh heh enough leafy greens for our taste.
Jerusalem
What about the ███████s?
Jerusalem
There will be a demonstration today at four o’clock
It will begin at the █████ gate (For directions: www.police.gov.il)
and will end in disappointment
Jerusalem
Maybe I should grow a mustache
Jerusalem
I left my yarmulkeh and phylacteries
in Willamsburg laced in the rhythm
of Mr. ███████’s kaddish.
What would Maimonedes think
about the CityPass ExtraSmooth Light Rail?
Jerusalem
Would you fine Our Fine Sages of Blessed Memory
180 shekels if they could not work the ticket machine?
(Passage removed for unnecessary snarky sacreligiosity)
Jerusalem
I’m Sorry (apology accepted, tentatively). That wasn’t fair.
I just want██ █ ████
that ████ █████ ███ me squarely in the consensus.
Jerusalem
When will you stop learning and get a job?
When will you put on the a uniform like everyone else?
When will you stand at a ████████?
Jerusalem
When will succumb to your █████?
When will you expectorate spit us out?
Jerusalem, maybe if you stop eating for seventy five days then maybe they wil
let us out of █████ ███████
and tell you what you’re doing here.
Jerusalem
My writing hand has lost it’s cunning
Which is mostly OK because
I am a Lefty
(Passage removed for unnecessary snarky sacreligiosity
& possible allusion to banned political orientation)
Jerusalem
We made the New York Times Antisemitic Dishrag’s headlines
Jerusalem
You are probably bored of poems
Jerusalem
You could use an intro to █████ Theory.
Jerusalem
I am hungry
Let’s have a barbecue Jesus you don’t learn
Jerusalem
Let’s have pigeon Not Kosher: Not Tempting
Jerusalem
Pray for me
Jerusalem
The irony is always lost on you
Jerusalem
You don’t really want to go to ███ do you?
Jerusalem
Put a note in your wall for
Me and for █████ and for ██ ██████
And for yourself
Jerusalem
Fast pray with for us
Jerusalem
Pray
