marie-liz-forte - Hello Poetry

remember when i was a female jew in tudor england ? i spoke to rabbi julia neuerberger recently and she said i dress so much more flamboyantly now than i did then we wondered if it wasn t because gibbets don t line the streets now like they did then they re in government and civil service departments but they do a PR job that could confuse you if you weren t already mad with so many spilled lakes of blood ,angry faces ,painful intrusions ,violent assaults and verbal conflicts and you just anticipate the rippling of a cold stream and the contact of a cats' tongue on the nape of your neck i wonder if we could diffuse like iodine in vituperative vapour and perfect the hiding technique we acquired in tudor times but forgot to adopt last century HIDE DON T SEEK THERE ARE NO ANSWERS c marie forte

I went to play tennis on tuesday with my friend Emma who's blind from birth I was telling Toby that when I talk to my friends who are blind I don t look at their hair their chin or their jacket I look them straight in the eyes and give them my full respect And if by looking in their dormant eyes I could make them see How happy that would make me But sadly it's not to be I spoke to a man about stem cell research And the possibility it opens up of Science enabling the blind to see He wondered with me Why the blind would strive to play tennis You may murmur 'that's not a poem ' But I say THIS IS A POEM AND WHAT MAKES IT A POEM IS MY FRIEND EMMA
