shimon weinroth Poems

An historian delights, to treat,
those he dislikes, with disdain
Analyses deeds and facts with spite,
cast in an unglamorous refrain
...

echoing out of the past
72 genes hanging on a chromosome
all vied to make you
...

we have stigmas between our thighs,
and stys on our eyes
stain our being,
Cain needed it
...

love is one concept
friendship is another
the ideal
is to have them both
...

I worry, you worry
we all worry
that we can't meet, payments at the bank,
cholera in Rwanda will spread,
...

fables told at the table,
or formed in a stable,
metaphorical stories
with a moral and point
...

play with me,
uh, hu,
come out and play with me
uh, hu
...

what is it makes us want,
something not our own
that we could have had
at any moment,
...

a window is a thing of philosophy.
lets you see in and me see out,
lets light in and shadows out,
each land its own particular brand
...

in betwen lunching and supper
there is munching,
in between supper and a midnight snack
the mandibles are busy
...
